Ivo van Hove & Internationaal Theater Amsterdam

‘Who Killed My Father’, the third book by the French literary talent Édouard Louis, is both an indictment of and a loving tribute to his father. The 26-year old author wrote this book as a letter in the second person. It was prompted by a confrontation with his father, who he found almost unrecognisable: prematurely old and sick as a result of a life marked by hard labour, social deprivation, alcohol and an accident at work that condemned him for good to a purposeless life at home. Édouard Louis points the finger at ruthless capitalism and the political elite that makes the lower classes bear the brunt. With this wonderful material, director Ivo van Hove forges a monologue for leading actor Hans Kesting. A ‘made in deSingel’ production! We're excited and impatient. You too?
