Death and the Maiden
   Introduction


How far can vengeance drive the wounded?
Will horror blind a victim from the reality?
Roman Polanski directed a film of the same title (1994)



Political prisoner Paulina was raped by her captors, while Schubertˇ¦s Death and the Maiden was played in the background.

Years after the repressive regime has fallen, Paulina lives in the countryside with her husband Gerardo. One silent evening, Gerardo came home with Dr. Miranda, whom Paulina recognised by his voice as the leader of the rapists. She then holds the doctor captive to extract a confession, while Gerardo attempts to defend MirandaˇK

Premiered in London in 1991, Death and the Maiden is a raw yet nonjudgmental exploration of human mistrust, fear, and violence, presenting the audience with numerous moral dilemmas. Following Art, HKRep is pleased to invite Weigo Lee again to direct another award-winning theatre work.
