MURDERING THE DEVIL
Specials
Inside an ornately furnished apartment, we become witnesses to a grotesque ritual: evening after evening, the cultivated yet lonely middle-aged female protagonist prepares elaborate meals for her girlhood crush. His last name says it all: Mr. Devil gobbles up the enormous quantities of food like a pig, and instead of taking an interest in his host, who remains nameless, he quotes Freud and Nietzsche, in an effort to justify his chauvinism – until she starts having second thoughts about the power dynamic. THE MURDER OF MR. DEVIL deconstructs traditional gender roles in a mordant and enormously witty manner.
