Alfred Dorfer: Same – live in Austrian Sign Language

Alfred Dorfer presents his satirical solo piece GLEICH in a premiere: the performance will be live-translated into Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS). Anna Huber, interpreter for spoken and sign language, shares the stage with the artist, creating an inclusive experience. Deaf attendees have reserved seats in the front area, while two large screens on the sides of the stage display the translation for all others.

In GLEICH, Dorfer effortlessly slips into a variety of roles—from grandmothers to sunflowers—with rapid elegance. Through witty wordplay, poetic language, and socially critical humor, he weaves together different time periods and tells a story that oscillates between reality and fantasy. As a sharp observer of everyday life, he uses self-deprecation and biting humor to skewer societal trends. His unique performance style, blending pantomime and acting, along with numerous awards such as the German Cabaret Prize, underscores his outstanding position in German-speaking cabaret.
