Okan Seese | Comedy

In the organizer's words:

Better deaf than no bird at all

Okan Seese is deaf, gay and half Turkish. And he is Germany's only deaf comedian who also performs for hearing audiences. In his solo show "Lieber taub als gar kein Vogel" (Better deaf than no bird at all), 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? With great self-irony and from an unusual perspective for hearing people ...
Excuse me: Okan talks about his everyday life. He skillfully plays with stereotypes, only to break them again in the next moment. His humor is surprising and honest and his facial expressions are enchanting. Okan takes us into a fascinating world with a strong community, a rich culture and his own expressive language.
