Okan Seese - Lieber taub als gar kein Vogel

In the organizer's words:

Okan Seese, the deaf sign language poet, comedian, actor and so much more.

He skillfully plays with stereotypes, only to break them again in the next moment. His humor is surprising, his facial expressions are enchanting. Okan takes us all into a fascinating world with a strong community, a rich culture and his own expressive language.

Okan Seese is Germany's only deaf comedian who also performs for hearing audiences. In his solo show "Lieber taub als gar kein Vogel", expectations are turned on their head: An interpreter, who is not paid per hour but per laugh, translates the signs for the audience. And Okan only pays for laughs that he can hear.

Are you wondering whether deaf people can do anything with music? How they hear their alarm clock? Or whether they are even allowed to drive a car? How do deaf people actually make phone calls? Can they dial the emergency number? And do they get turned on by moaning during sex?
Okan talks about his everyday life with great self-irony and from an unusual perspective for hearing people.

He says about himself: "Deaf, gay, half Turkish. My view of things rarely conforms to the so-called norm. Diversity is part of my existence, art in its diversity is a vital form of expression for me."

The special feature: the program is presented in sign language and translated for all hearing people.
