BBC film-maker, immersive journalist and social commentator Louis Theroux is bringing his weird and wonderful world to live audiences across Australia. Hosted by Australia’s own Julia Zemiro, Louis Theroux Live On Stage is an intimate and behind the scenes look at some of Louis’ most popular films and documentaries.
“I couldn’t be more excited about doing these live shows in Australia. It will be my first time Down Under and my first time doing ambitious shows of this kind. For me, making my programmes is quite a private process. They are about forging a human connection with people whose lives are at the outermost edge of what we as people experience: the most forbidden impulses, the most frightening lifestyles, the most traumatic turns of events. To get inside the lives of those people – criminals, sex workers, people with mental illness, ultra-committed religious believers – is a kind of high-wire act. With these live shows, I’d like to invite my viewers deeper inside the process, share weird stories and surprising insights from all my years of doing it – and also meet and get to know the community of people who enjoy the programmes.” Louis Theroux commented.
“In his documentaries, Louis Theroux finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. Through patience, stillness and rigour, he reveals so much about human nature. I’m delighted to be hosting this tour and intend to pick up as many tips as possible in the art of interviewing,” Julia Zemiro commented.
