L'Histoire du Soldat
Ragtime, paso doble, chorals à la Bach, klezmer music...
Overview
Ragtime, paso doble, chorals à la Bach, klezmer music... This diversity of influences serves a Faustian-inspired plot: a soldier sells his soul to the devil in exchange for a book capable of predicting the future.
A universal tale, inspired by Russian author Afanassiev, which ends in hell for the soldier.
Julien Masmondet and today's Apaches decided to pay tribute to their predecessors by bringing this piece back to life alongside Didier Sandre of the Comédie-Française, in a concert version for a single narrator who embodies both the narrator, the soldier and the devil, accompanied by seven soloists.
Didier Sandre's long familiarity with the work allows him to tighten the drama, giving it profound unity and revealing all the musicality of the text.
To introduce The Soldier's Tale, an original creation for percussion and electronics commissioned from Othman Louati, the listener is immediately immersed in the world of rhythm which, in the form of a march, becomes like a second heartbeat punctuating all the scenes and accompanying us step by step until the last measure of the work.
