 X,Y: THE SOLDIER'S TALE
_________________________________________________________________________

:: NETCAST sun. march 4th, 8pm PST @ www.front.bc.ca ::


Andreas Kahre, Ron Samworth with Talking Pictures re-invent
Stravinsky's classic tale L'Histoire du Soldat for Musique
Actuelle Ensemble & Paper Theatre.

Set within the wonderful and wobbly world of paper theatre, the tale begins with the story of Josef, a soldier
who accidentally sells his soul to the devil one  afternoon and soon finds
there is more to the bargain than meets the eye... Improvising on
Stravinsky's score, Musical Director Ron Samworth is joined by Peggy Lee,
Dylan van der Schyff and Bill Clark.

 Performers Adrienne Wong as puppeteer, David Garfinkle as the
devil, Hiro Kanagawa,as the soldier, and Lesley Ewan as the narrator
emerge as voices with images installed in a contraption of Andreas Kahre's
design that surrounds the audience.

X,Y  rediscovers a seemingly unchanged landscape of insoluable
political and moral dilemmas
 which find their voice in the work's fiercely melancholic tone, as
fresh and as painful now as when it was first presented.  Overlapping and
multiple forms of action, fire, brimstone, shifting locations and fluctuating time frames
come together in a style that creates a bridge between the hopes and
horrors of the piece's past and future.
