Netherlands Dans Theater, 1988 L’Histoire du Soldat is a theatrical work created by Igor Stravinsky and Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz, based on a Russian folk story from Alexander Afanasyev’s collection. The plot follows a young soldier who, on leave from the army, meets the Devil disguised as a mysterious old man. The Devil offers him a deal: trade his beloved violin for a magic book that brings endless riches. The soldier accepts, but wealth quickly alienates him from his past, his home, and ultimately himself.
