FALLING MAN

About the show

American author Don DeLillo is the most eminent chronicler of his country and his time. In numerous novels and stories, he researches the often destructive impact of large events and social changes – such as the Cold War and nuclear threat, the digital age and globalization – on the lives of ordinary people. Falling man is part of a large project by French director Julien Gosselin, based on the work of Don DeLillo. He will create the first part with his own company for the Festival d’Avignon in 2018, bringing three of DeLillo’s books together in one marathon performance. In April, this first part will be performed here in Amsterdam. As a second part, Falling man will be created.
