An Evening about Origin, Transformation, and the Raw Power of Self-Assertion

With Guide to Becoming Another, the Munich Volkstheater presents a highly concentrated theater evening on May 3, 2026, at 20:30 on stage 3, transforming Édouard Louis' autofictional material into a poetically fragmentary stage adaptation. At the center is a young man who no longer wants to be trapped in poverty, shame, and social constraints – and yet senses that every transformation has its price.

The Stage as a Spiritual Resonance Space

Chiara Liotine's direction seeks not loud gestures, but the fine cracks: layer upon layer of memory overlays the relationship with the father, origins, and desires, over the difficult promise of social ascent. Just on stage 3, an intimate theatrical experience unfolds, where acting and dramaturgy stay close to the characters.

Édouard Louis: Literature as Ruthless Self-Questioning

Édouard Louis' novel tells of a life between village, school, factory, and Paris; of class changes, homosexuality, social pressure, and the desire to escape one's starting point. These themes have made the author internationally known and shape the strong emotional tension of the source material. For the stage, this results in material with a clear contemporary weight, challenging both audience and critics.

Those interested in contemporary theater, social issues, psychological precision, and clever direction will experience an evening with resonance here: quiet, cutting, human. This is not a pleasing theater outing, but an intense piece about identity, adaptation, and the courage to find one's own voice.
