Passion and pain: Ernaux's inconventional affair on stage!

In the Kosmos Theater in Vienna, the Austrian premiere of Annie Ernaux 'touching work "The Young Man" is celebrated. This production, directed by Elisabeth Gabriel, brings a passionate story to the stage in which a woman takes an affair with an almost 30 -year -old man in the middle of life. The plot is a tough examination of topics such as female pain, social norms and the struggle for self-fulfillment, such as the Kleine Zeitung reported. Ernaux gives the viewer an insight into the confusion and flights of height of such a relationship, which not only serves as a re -encounter with one's own youth, but also raises deep questions about identity: "Can I win back my story?"

The staging convinces with a clever text version that also processes elements of other works by the Nobel Prize winner. Johanna Orsini and Lili appear on the stage, who embody the complex dynamics between the age groups in their roles. Supported by the talented live musician Teresa Redschopf, who spans a musical tension from The Doors to Nancy Holloway, the stage design of Cristina Milea keeps the audience in suspense with his innovative upcycling design. According to Ticketorganizer , the presentation also offers additional discussion formats that promote interaction with the audience-an offer that not only enables the exchange of opinions, but also the reflection on your own experiences. Further performances are planned from March 20th to 28th
