It was 1918. No one knew when the war would end. There was no large hall, no vast audience. So why not keep it simple? Just a few instruments with contrasting sounds: violin and double bass, clarinet and bassoon, cornet (trumpet) and trombone, drums. Two or three characters: the soldier, the devil, the princess (silent—she’s a ballerina), plus a reader (narrator). A traveling theater production, even performed outdoors, for a naively profound take on the Faust myth. You should never sell your soul to the devil, even in the form of a little violin!
Starring:
Bérengère Warluzel, the narrator.
Zakary Bairi, the soldier.
Emma Gustafsson, the princess.
Charles Berling, the devil.
