Weg met Eddy Bellegueule - Internationaal Theater Amsterdam
In a small village in Northern France, the gentle and sensitive Eddy grows up in a vulgar, rude and merciless working-class environment. We follow him through his many attempts to be a 'normal boy', but he looks nothing like the children around him. His attitude, his accent and even his gait earn him as much humiliation from his classmates as from his alcoholic father and bossy mother. Even before he feels the slightest desire, many assume he is homosexual. By telling his story, Eddy reveals his suffocating environment. Can he break free from it?
Eline Arbo about Away with Eddy Bellegueule:
"The first time I read Away with Eddy Bellegueule, I was blown away by the raw energy, the recognizable youth feeling, the smart social criticism, the sense of injustice and the main character's demand to take a place in the world.
The story is very personal and universal at the same time.
We get an insight into the life of a boy who grows up in a village and in a family where there is no room for anyone who is different.
Like a chameleon, he tries to fit in everywhere, but in the end he deals with his past and creates a life in which he can be himself.
I am still proud of the presentation I made of this book in 2020.
Unfortunately, we still live in the same world today as we did back then, where people are discriminated against because of their orientation.
That's why I think it's important to keep telling this story."
