We welcome David Labi to Lancaster Arts for the first time as he takes us on a hilarious and transformational journey based on the life of his father.
David’s father was a Libyan Jew who survived the Nazi concentration camps as a child. Larger than life, he went on through business boom and bust, casinos and shady deals, a bomb attack, and more – hauling his loved ones on his wild rollercoaster of a life. Now David’s having a midlife crisis. He longs to grow up, but his macho dad keeps getting in the way. In Pieces of a Man, we follow David on his search to find his dead father, and live on.
David is a writer and comic performer, who has shown work at Glastonbury and Edinburgh Fringe. He has performed Pieces of a Man in Berlin’s legendary Volksbűhne, many London venues and a sold out run at Belgium’s top theatre festival, YAZ, Ostend. He currently runs his ethical storytelling agency Good Point in Brussels.
“Pieces of a Man is a masterclass in how to draw a whole life against the canvas of history.”
Wouter Hillaert, Pzazz
