A story of twisted love, revenge and the
redemptive power of a song.
A story of twisted love, revenge and the redemptive power of a song.
Nooran, carefree and defiantly independent, is a tribal woman
leaning the ancient art of healing from her grandmother, a revered
scorpion-singer. When Aadam, a camel trader in the Rajasthan desert, hears her
sing, he falls desperately in love. But even before they can get to know each
other better, Nooran is poisoned by a brutal treachery that sets her on a
perilous journey to avenge herself and find her song.
Statement from Beatrice Thiriet
The song of scorpions is my second collaboration with the
director Anup SINGH.
He proposed me this magnificent story in which the
music is the main actress.
In this scenario the music is redemptive and
source of life. It is the antidote to the deadly wound inflicted by the
scorpion.
Both life and death are domesticated in the film by the
power of women shamans and musicians from which Noora (played by the sublime
Golshiftheh Farahani) is born.
This film is set in the desert and its perpetual movement.
An apparent order on which the wind blows, sowing an invisible but permanent
disorder. This daily disaster is embodied by a violent and intrepid camel
driver played by the immense actor Irrfan Khan.
It is the meeting of these two characters who will
struggle in the expression of their love that inspired me musically.
I mixed the sublime desert shots, the sounds of the Oud,
the jaw harp or the double flute of Rajasthan with the lyrical accents of
romantic, romantic or obsessive themes that I composed and orchestrated for a
large symphonic formation. Wooden strings, brass and percussion, it is the
whole orchestra that imposes itself in the folds of this love story that
opposes animal cruelty and nobility of feeling.
The originality of this score is that it oscillates
between the original nudity and the stripping of the chamber music ensembles,
particularly in the Oud jaw harp duo or the cello percussion duo, and the
impressionism and refinement of contemporary orchestrations.
