Song of the dark forest
Scapino Ballet Rotterdam / Opera2Day / Doelenensemble

Song of the dark forest is a poignant, compelling and comforting performance, performed by Scapino's entire troupe of dancers, an opera singer and live music by the DoelenEnsemble. The tragic song of war is sung. An unknown soldier, hovering between life and death, longs to return to his loved ones but is also haunted by memories of the battlefield. With poignant songs and dance by four choreographers, this timeless story comes to life.

Song of the dark forest


Musically, a leading role is given to the work of Dmitri Shostakovich. In times of war and oppression, his music was a source of hope and consolation for many. Songs by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and Rachmaninov from which an unmistakable pacifist message emerges and a melancholic longing for better times. It concludes with Sergei Akhunov's recent Prayer for Peace. That title is a true motto for the entire performance.
