Milo Rau & Édouard Louis: The Interrogation

The Interrogation is a raw, intimate collaboration between director Milo Rau and writer Édouard Louis, blending personal testimony with urgent political critique. The work unfolds as a stark monologue that revisits moments of violence, class shame, and queer identity in contemporary France. Rau’s minimalist staging amplifies Louis’ searing honesty, creating a space where personal memory becomes collective reckoning. Together, they interrogate not only the past but the structures, social, familial, and theatrical, that shape how stories are told and heard. The result is a powerful meditation on truth, power, and the act of bearing witness.
