An evening with Louis Theroux

During this Brainwash Special, Louis Theroux, who might be considered the world’s best interviewer, will talk about his disruptive documentaries, shocking interviews and extraordinary encounters. From neo-Nazis to ultra-Zionists and from depressed mothers to polyamorous communities: Theroux gets everybody talking with this disarming interview style. Empathizing with someone you don’t quite understand, is that even possible? How do people develop extreme viewpoints? And what can we learn from them? Louis Theroux gives answers to these questions.

During our Brainwash Special at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, Louis Theroux will give insights in how to be an exceptional interviewer. He will talk about the most bizarre and shocking conversations that he’s had in the past 25 years. He will tell us whether his view on the world changed radically by meeting extreme subcultures and eccentric people. Using examples from his rich body of work, we will discuss: judgements, discomfort and taboos.

Put your judgement to the test and don’t miss the chance to meet Louis Theroux!
