PIECES OF A MAN – David Labi

David’s father Marcello was an Italian Jew who was imprisoned as a child in the Nazi concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen. He always caused wonder, madness, joy and pain to those around him. The show delves into the past and present, using photographs, clips of Marcello’s Holocaust testimony, anecdotes of soldiers, gangsters and casino…

Pieces of a Man explores questions of identity, persecution, migration and liberation. Versions of masculinity are contrasted, with father and son’s stories of violent unrest and tremendous social change.

Pieces of a Man is a story of unresolved parental trauma that touches several communities and grabs viewers by the neck.

A performance by David Labi in co-production with MARTHA!TENTATIEF with the support of MESTIZO ARTS PLATFORM
