Histoire du Soldat

This theatrical work was initially thought as a puppet play: a simple and immediate artistic product with a strong symbolic component.
ATTI SONORI stages the "poor" Opera that Igor Stranvinskij composed in 1918 against the bombastic and cumbersome standards of the traditional grand Opera.
The story is based on a Russian folk tale and features a soldier victim of the First World War. The story of the soldier concerns mankind as a whole and, in particular, the impossibility for human beings to escape their own destiny.
