Sadettin K.

What if your child asks you if his family will be turned off the country? What if you notice that not only you, but also the next generation should ask yourself: do I hear at home here? Theater maker and master storyteller Sadettin Kırmızıyüz opens his new series A kind of Dutchman with First Man, a personal and penetrating solo performance about how identity continues from generation to generation. With humor, vulnerability and sharp social observations, he investigates how traumas and dreams of one generation have an influence on the next, and whether a migration background ever stops to be an obstacle.

The day after the parliamentary elections in the kitchen is in the kitchen. Because of the election victory of the PVV, he is afraid that his grandfather and grandmother will be deported because they are Muslims. Sadettin insures his teenage son, despite his own worries: “We belong here, even though we have a last name that does not sound Dutch. Even though we come from a Muslim family. Whatever happens, we will stay here. "Sadettin, the parent, lies awake all night.  After years in which Sadettin himself was confronted with foreigner hatred and discrimination, his son of ten is now also confronted with this? Multiple languages ​​are spoken in the family of Kırmızıyüz. Christmas, Ramadan, Easter, sacrifice party and Sinterklaas are simply celebrated by everyone. If politicians talk about an integration problem in people with a migration background, Sadettin does not have to feel addressed. They are doing well, right? Or should his son also do extra work, because his grandfather ever migrated?
