Bernard-Marie Koltès was born in Metz on 9 April 1948, the son of a career army officer. He studied in Strasbourg, where his first plays were staged, and attended the school of the city's Théâtre national under Hubert Gignoux. His travels to New York, Central America and Africa fed his writing. In 1983 Patrice Chéreau opened the Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre with one of his plays, then staged three others until 1988. Koltès died in Paris on 15 April 1989.
