Writer and philosopher Édouard Louis takes to the stage in Qui a tué mon père (Who killed my father), a deeply personal work directed by internationally acclaimed theatre-maker Thomas Ostermeier.
Growing up as a young gay man in the French provinces, Édouard Louis long held a deep disgust for his violent, alcoholic father, whose homophobic outbursts plagued his childhood. His book about this relationship, Qui a tué mon père, caused an international sensation and led to Thomas Ostermeier inviting him to the Schaubühne Berlin to stage it as a piece of theatre. The play is both an intimate story about family and a polemic against the French class system.
Qui a tué mon père (Who killed my father) is an indignant and impassioned piece of autobiographical theatre from one of France’s most influential young writers.
Truly great art – dramatic, political and social.
Édouard Louis speaks with an emotional authenticity and a stylistic confidence that is hard to ignore.
