Mohamed El Khatib – La Vie Secrète des Vieux
About the Event
La Vie Secrète des Vieux, a documentary theater work by Mohamed El Khatib about love, intimacy and aging.
“There is gallows humour and unzipped ribaldry as a mischievous group share stories that are joyful, tender and sometimes eye-watering” — The Guardian
Does the end of life correspond to the end of love? That’s the question that Mohamed El Khatib explores in La Vie Secrète des Vieux, a documentary theater work that invites a group of elders to speak openly about sex, intimacy and love. What unfolds is an hour-long meditation on desire in the aging body. La Vie Secrète des Vieux is an act of radical vulnerability as its participants share their most intimate wants, fears, regrets and lessons learned with a clarity and poignancy that can only be found late in life.
