Leni Riefenstahl was called ‘Hitler’s Pin-Up Girl’. A dancer, an actor and one of the most brilliant and innovative film makers of the twentieth century, she sold her soul to Hitler’s Third Reich and destroyed her career.This solo theatre performance by Jan Bolwell tells Riefenstahl’s story using text, music, dance and videography. As a young and talented artist Riefenstahl made films like Triumph of the Will, regarded as one of the greatest propaganda films of all time, and Olympia, on the 1936 Berlin Olympics. After the Second World War, Riefenstahl was ostracised in Germany and never made another film until she was in her nineties.
Supping with the Devil is a psychological study of a superb artist who becomes corrupted in her quest for power and fame.
