It sings the tragic song of war. 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Prayer for peace<\/h3>\n<p>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 comfort for many. Songs by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and Rachmaninov will also be heard, revealing an unmistakable pacifist message and a melancholic longing for better times. It concludes with Sergei Akhunov&#8217;s recent Prayer for Peace. That title is a true motto for the entire performance.<\/p>\n<p>The show could be seen throughout the Netherlands between October 2023 and\u00a0February 2024.
