Clark U to Present Igor Stravinsky’s “A Soldier’s Tale”
Sunday, October 02, 2016
The project will be performed by Dan Butterworth and his marionettes, actor Jason Asprey (narrator), Mikhail Kopelman (violin), Julian Milkis (clarinet) and Sima Kustanovich (piano).
A Soldier's Tale
A Soldier's Tale is about the futility of war and the and the danger of temptation to emerge from the First World War.
Using music, the show brings to life the story of a young soldier who trades his violin to the devil in exchange for a magic book and the promise of easy riches.
The performance will be narrated while a cast of shadow puppets and marionettes act out the scenes.
“A Soldier’s Tale makes an unforgettable impression on anyone who sees it, both through its compelling music and its moving story. The addition of Dan’s amazing puppet production will bring an extraordinary new dimension to the audience’s experience,” said Benjamin Korstvedt, professor of music at Clark.
Prior to the performance, there will be a workshop that involves students in the craft of puppetry, as well as a special afternoon performance of the complete production for students from several local schools.
