Written and performed by Édouard Louis, directed by Thomas Ostermeier
Following their “brutal and bracingly intimate” masterpiece,
History of Violence (
Time Out), Schaubühne Berlin returns to St. Ann’s Warehouse with another blockbuster collaboration. This time, in
Who Killed My Father,
Thomas Ostermeier directs
Édouard Louis in a gripping solo performance. Once again, Louis brings his politics home – venting rage and discovering a love for his infirm father, a broken member of the working class condemned to a premature death by a system that shows no mercy.
The tour of the Schaubühne is supported by Goethe-Institut and the General Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in New York.
Performed in French with English subtitles.
