Nina Hoss in Returning to Reims

Performances begin February 4 for the American premiere of Schaubühne Berlin’s Returning to Reims, a multi-medium adaptation of French author Didier Eribon’s 2014 memoir of the same name conceived by Thomas Ostermeier. Through film and performance, the show brings to life Eribon’s personal story of identity, estrangement, and homecoming within the turbulent French political landscape.

In Ostermeier’s adaptation, Homeland star Nina Hoss play an actor in a sound studio recording a voiceover for a documentary about Eribon’s return home to his working-class family after his father’s death. While the documentary plays across a giant screen, Hoss and the director of the film (played by Bush Moukarzel) struggle over how to best capture Eribon’s story.

Returning to Reims is playing at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn through February 25.
