Grimm tale brought to stage by French theater legend
Print Edition
“THE Girl, the Devil and the Mill” is a musical play about beauty, hope, violence and loneliness; based on the Brothers’ Grimm fairy tale “The Girl Without Hands.”
Directed and adapted by French stage legend Olivier Py, the show will hit Shanghai’s Lyceum Theater on Tuesday, having made its China debut last week in Beijing.
The play focuses on a naive father who makes a deal with the devil without realizing that he’s also sacrificing his daughter in the bargain. To escape the infernal fiend’s grim forfeit, the young girl flees and begins a journey fraught with peril and chance encounters.
Amid its heavy themes of love, war, evil and memory, the play also speaks to the child the lives in every one of us, no matter our age.
Over his illustrious career, Py has worked as a writer, actor and director. He was appointed director of the Orleans National Center for Drama in 1998 and has been the director of the Avignon Festival since 2013.
