Tobi Katze: Morgen ist leider auch noch ein Tag

In the organizer's words:

Somehow I had expected more from my depression. Diagnosis: depression. Treatment: with humor.

Tobi Katze talks about his life with depression in a self-deprecating and very honest way. After his therapist's diagnosis, he is almost relieved. He finally has a name for the feeling that something is wrong: "I'm the only iPhone 5 in a world full of Android phones. What helps everyone doesn't fit my connections."
Most of the time, he locks himself in his apartment and would rather talk to the dirty laundry than to his friends. In the evenings, he drowns out the silence inside him with parties, fills the void where feelings should be with beer and plants a permanent grin on his face so as not to give the impression that anything is wrong.
It's all terrible. And then also terribly funny. But is that any way to talk about depression?
Yes, that's exactly how!

Tobi Katze, born in 1981, writes short stories, essays, poems and screenplays. He completed his degree in literature and cultural studies in 2009. He has been performing at poetry slams and reading stages for more than ten years. In 2007 he won the LesArt Prize for Young Literature and in 2014 the Bielefeld Cabaret Prize for his first stage program "rocknrollmitbuchstaben". His book "Morgen ist leider auch noch ein Tag", in which he writes self-deprecatingly and honestly about his life with depression, was a bestseller.

The event is taking place on the first nationwide Self-Help Day.
