Desc: Le géographe manuel II - Socrate pour prendre congé: Directed by Michel Zumpf. With Albane Carrère, Jean-Quentin Châtelain, Hélène Richer, Ariana Vafadari. Erik Satie exceeded expectations by releasing Socrates in 1918, for voice and piano, then in 1920 for voice and orchestra, whilst the original request was for a musical piece to accompany the reading of philosophical texts. Michel Sumpf perpetuates the transformation by confronting it with female bodies, female singers, with a few men amongst a selection of Parisian types of architecture.
