L’Histoire Du Soldat

 
 
 

With similar associations to the 16th Century tale of ‘Faustus’, Ramuz and Stravinsky’s tale originates from Alexander Afanasyev’s ‘The Runaway Soldier and the Devil’. 

This contemporary production follows a returning soldier’s choices and corrupt passage leading to downfall after trading his fiddle to the devil in exchange for economic gain.
