Letter to my dictator

"Even though he was shot when I was twenty, Ceausescu has always been part of my life. One day, my mother taught me a truth that embarrassed me: I owe something to the dictator!"

Eugène arrived in Switzerland at the age of six with his parents, who were fleeing Nicolae Ceausescu's dictatorship. At the age of fifty, he wrote a letter to the self-proclaimed "Genius of the Carpathians", to better understand "his" debt to him.

"Letter to My Dictator" was published in August 2022 and draws on family memories. Eugène, the writer, leaves the book behind to become a storyteller on stage. Between narration, reflections and short sketches, some twenty characters pass by: his mother, his father, a customs officer, a guard, the Securitate and, of course, Ceausescu himself.

A cruel mirror to today's world, which is quick to forget the terrible lessons of history... To be seen on March 14 and 15 at the Théâtre du Dé.
