Milo Rau

Born in Bern in 1977, Milo Rau is a director, playwright, essayist, and filmmaker. His is a theatre of the real, directly engaging with our contemporary concerns. He explores violence in society through plays that have often been presented in Avignon, such as The Last Days of the Ceaușescus, Hate Radio, La Reprise, and Antigone in the Amazon. He likes to begin with the intimacy of people’s everyday lives before gradually revealing the violence and grandeur of a tragedy. Milo Rau has created around fifty shows since 2002, and was appointed artistic director of NTGent (Belgium) in 2017. He currently serves as director of the Vienna Festival – Wiener Festwochen.
