Le Choix des Ames - Une Fable Humaniste

The soul is a small wooden piece that carries vibrations through the instrument. Without it, the cello would have a dull, hollow sound1916, Verdun. In a shell hole, two men with nothing in common: Raoul, a vengeful and somewhat simple French soldier, and Franz, a German soldier, musician and humanist. With them, a cello.

To escape this dark and sordid world, the two enemies need each other. The music and the soul of the instrument will bring them back to their humanity. They will have to forget their fears, overcome their hatred and trust one another despite their differences.

But what future awaits those who make the Choix des Âmes? Through this humanist fable, more relevant than ever, two men choose the cello over the bayonet, life over barbarity, the choice to resonate and to reason. “A blow straight to the heart” La dépêche “This play calls for harmony and peace between souls” La Provence “A magnificent text, brought to life by two actors who truly inhabit their roles” L’est Républicain Duration: 1h15Age: +10 years
