Book presentation by Édouard Louis
"I broke free from your father and thought that everything would be better now." Édouard Louis returns to his mother's story. To a woman who has already broken free once. From alcohol, violence and shame, from silence. And whose story threatens to repeat itself when she calls her son one night while her new partner rudely insults her in the background. Step by step, the son plans the escape with her, a new beginning succeeds, but how does life go on when you have never learned freedom?
"Monique breaks out" is a sensitive and tender portrait of a mother who fights for her self-determination and a son who allies himself with her. Two people who come closer to each other and carefully begin to write a new story together.
Édouard Louis - whose texts "In the heart of violence" and "Who killed my father (Qui a tué mon père)" are in the Schaubühne's repertoire - presents his new book.
