PIECES OF A MAN – David Labi

David Labi is a forty-something man with Jewish-English-Libyan roots. His father spent time in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as a child and survived a bombing and the Yom Kippur War. He was vain, self-centered, addicted to gambling and longed for a grand and compelling life. David, on the other hand, is sensitive and thoughtful. He loves books, art and arthouse movies. When David is twenty, his father dies. In the years that followed, David roamed the world. Until one evening, alone at home in Berlin, he realizes that he is much more like his father than he cares to be. David, too, finds no peace anywhere.

Pieces of a Man is a monologue by David Labi about his father. A performance that balances between storytelling and stand-up comedy. In English.
