A TALE

Golshfiteth Farahani and Kristian Winters - Actress
Simon Scardfield and Lynn Sefarty - Texte
Orchestration under the direction of Vincent Paulet
Commisioned by Cartier
and the Boulez Saal of Berlin (2024)
“It’s a complete success. Nothing is missing.”
- Le Point
“Ensemble K, conducted by Simone Menezes with passion and fluidity, gave an outstanding performance. The concert, performed in a well-attended Pierre Boulez Hall, was warmly acclaimed!” - Berliner Morgenpost
This concert offers an intimate rediscovery of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade. Her image, often distorted by the Orientalist vision, regains its profound essence. By revisiting Korsakov’s work, we have created two versions of this performance: a traditional instrumental version and one enriched by an original narration written by Simon Scarfield and Lynn Sefarty.
It aims to reimagine the archetype of this legendary brillant women, an arquetype of heroine, who was willing to risk her life to save the women of her people.
The project has been recorded as a double CD for Alpha and is also available for streaming on Medici TV and Mezzo TV. Sheherazade, A Tale premiered at Boulez Hall in Berlin, offering audiences a unique immersion into this timeless story.
