Renard
Igor Stravinsky’s opera Renard (1916), is based on a fable of a fox who attempts to capture a rooster but ends up being trapped and killed by his pray, and its acolytes the cat and the goat. This story, through a collaboration with the play director Giulia Giammona, was placed in parallel to the play by the same composer L'Histoire du Soldat (1918). Here, a devil takes the soul of a soldier, who attempts to trick the devil and stealing it back. From the mundane life of the soldier to his daydreams, I opened, in this reinterpretation, the universe of limitless fantasies.
