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 Qui a tué mon père, on which the play is based, caused a sensation in France and internationally, and led to Thomas Ostermeier inviting him to the Schaubühne Berlin to stage it as a piece of theatre. This work marks the return of Schaubühne and Thomas Ostermeier to Adelaide Festival after the success of Richard III in 2017.
