Santiago Blaum:
Die Geschichte vom Soldaten Elik

Elik Niv is an Israeli elite solider who left his homeland to establish a career as a contemporary dancer in Germany. On the stage he encounters the devil, like in Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat, and must enter into negotiations with him: reality and fiction, a biography and historical facts melt into one. The fairytale-like delicacy which Stravinsky and Ramuz used in 1918 to deal with total war is insufficient in today’s era of increasingly distant and remote wars.Like an ego-shooter Elik takes us through video simulations, personal war experiences and beyond borders.
