Serdar Somuncu | HASSIAS

Serdar Somuncu’s new show can only be experienced in such an intimate setting at the Central Uster!

A two-year hiatus. Two years of silence. Two years during which the world believed itself to be safe. But now he’s back: Hassias. The high priest of insult. The messiah of contempt for humanity. Serdar Somuncu brings his fictional religious community back to the stage – uncompromising, cabaret-style and as politically incorrect as it gets.

Under the motto ‘Every minority has a right to discrimination’, Somuncu, as Hassias, tears apart everything that considers itself sacrosanct: political correctness, the culture of outrage, moral arrogance – and you.

No one is spared. Everyone is hit just as hard. An evening for anyone who doesn’t need a trigger warning. A show for people who are prepared to question themselves. A comeback that needs no applause – just open-mouthed astonishment.

Serdar Somuncu was born on 3 June 1968 in Istanbul; he studied acting, music and directing in Maastricht and Wuppertal.
