THE END OF EDDY

About the show

Based on Édouard Louis’ autobiographical novel “The End of Eddy” / ”La finir avec Eddy Bellegueule” Faggot. Fag. Fairy. Cocksucker. The abuse rains down on Eddy along with the fists and the gobs of spit. Because different is the worst thing you can be in the poorest part of France. THE END OF EDDY is a brutal testimonial of growing up in a violent, forgotten environment where everything that stands out is punished for it. Here, you play football, get in fights and look at the ladies. But Eddy secretly borrows his sister’s clothes, fantasises about hairy, muscular men’s bodies, and his voice is brighter than the other boys’ voices. “Today, I’m going to be one of the tough guys”, he tells himself every morning in front of the mirror. But his body revolts and works against him, time and time again. Torn between the desire for other bodies and the hatred of his own, Eddy tries to get rid of himself. To get to the end of abuse. The end of macho-men. The end of this body that feels like one big misunderstanding.
