Event Description
"Soldiers' Tales Untold" is a musical and theatrical deconstruction of the classic 1918 musical fable, “L'Histoire du Soldat” ('The Soldier's Tale') by Igor Stravinsky and C.F. Ramuz. Nine improvising-musician-narrators weave dialogues between past and present, fairytale and testimony, the score versus improvised sound. Using direct quotes and improvisations on “L’Histoire”, as well as text from published interviews and oral histories of US and Russian veterans from 20th century conflicts, “Soldiers’ Tales Untold” raises questions that today’s artists and audiences cannot afford to ignore. Open discussion with audience follows performance.
