Okan Seese - Lieber taub als gar kein Vogel

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 "Better deaf than no bird at all", expectations are turned on their head: an interpreter, who is paid per laugh rather than per hour, translates the signs for the audience. And Okan only pays for laughs that he can hear. They ask themselves whether deaf people can relate to music? How they hear their alarm clock? Or whether they are even allowed to drive a car? How do deaf people actually use the phone?! Can they call the emergency number? And does moaning during sex turn them on? With great self-irony and from a perspective that is unusual for the hearing person... sorry: Okan tells of his everyday life. He skilfully plays with stereotypes, only to break them again the next moment. His humor is surprising and honest and his facial expressions are lovable.
