The Fatzer Soldier's Tale

Animated Collages for music theatre show

Technique Cutout & Digital Animation
Materials WW1 archive photos

Video work embedded in the music theatre work The Fatzer Soldier's Tale, written and directed by Aleksi Barrière, a reinterpretation of Igor Stravinsky's tale of a World War I deserter.

Like Stravinsky's music, the projected animations subvert the images of propaganda into playful collage, where suppressed and hidden layers of contemporaneous reality overlap and bleed into each other.

Premiered at the Helsinki Music Centre on October, 17th, 2022.
