Isle of Man Arts Council announce their guest for the Annual Lecture for 2022

The Isle of Man Arts Council is delighted to announce that the guest for their 2022 Annual Lecture will be celebrated documentary maker and author, Louis Theroux!

In Conversation with Louis Theroux will take place on Tuesday 11th October at 7.30pm at the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas. Louis will be in conversation with host Christy De Haven, which will allow the audience an intimate look at his life, career and documentaries, with the opportunity for an audience question and answer session during the event. Theroux is a genre-defining documentary presenter, best known for producing immersive documentaries that explore the controversial and complex aspects of the human condition. Using a gentle questioning style and an informal approach, Louis has shone light on intriguing beliefs, behaviours, and institutions by getting to know the people at the heart of them – from the officers and inmates at San Quentin prison to the extreme believers of the Westboro Baptist Church; from male porn performers in California to young women with eating disorders in London. Over the years, Louis has kept true to a way of working that is uniquely his own: by charming his subjects, he’s able to offer rounded portraits of the people involved in complex social issues and human dilemmas, while always resisting easy judgements.

Mrs Marlene Maska MLC, Chair of Isle of Man Arts Council said: “The Isle of Man Arts Council is extremely pleased that we can finally continue our annual lecture offering after the lockdown years.”“We are absolutely thrilled that Louis Theroux will be visiting the Gaiety Theatre, providing a unique and inspirational experience for our audience.”
