Édouard Louis, a noted writer, was struck by a stage adaptation of his book 'História da Violência.' This production, directed by Thomas Ostermeier, impressed Louis to the point where he gave his approval for Ostermeier to adapt another of his works. Initially reluctant, Louis agreed to perform in the new adaptation, breaking from his typical role as a writer to take on the stage himself.

The upcoming performances of Louis' monologue, 'Quem Matou Meu Pai,' will occur at Sesc Pinheiros in São Paulo during the Mostra Internacional de Teatro de São Paulo (MITsp). This monologue addresses his tumultuous relationship with his father, highlighting personal struggles and family dynamics that resonate with many viewers. The staging is part of a broader initiative to showcase diverse theatrical expressions at the festival.

Louis' transition from writer to performer adds a new dimension to his artistic expression as he engages with the themes of violence and familial conflict through a live performance. His participation in MITsp signifies not only a personal journey but also an opportunity to connect with audiences on a deeper emotional level, drawing from his own experiences to foster understanding and empathy.
