Short presentation:
“The Shepherd and the Lady” is a unique story with romantic inflections, with emotion, with humor and lyrism, which bears the signature of Queen Mary. The first step in creating this show was the stage adaptation of the text, trying to bring forth the theme of the story: love and sacrifice.
“The Shepherd and the Lady” is not just a story of forbidden love, but rather a research upon the heart, upon happiness, upon our own important life decisions. If Faust sells his soul for immortality, in our story, the Shepherd does not sell his soul for immortality, instead he gives up his SOUL and FAITH for love, for the Lady!
The literary value of the story, loaded with metaphors and symbols, opened the soul and imagination of the creators: director, scenographer, composer and, obviously, the actors, to a great challenge and an original stage transposition.
