When language not only communicates, but also controls. A humorous, Brecht-inspired performance about language, integration and cultural clashes.
Through sharp satire and personal stories, we follow Bashir in his fight against language barriers and prejudices, where humor shows how language shapes identity, creates gaps in society and defines social status. Definitely a theater experience that attracts even those who have never been to the theater before!

MaktmissSpråk is an engaging one-man show that highlights the role of language as an instrument of power and how it affects individuals' social position and self-perception. Through the eyes of Bashir, a charming and insightful character, the play explores the challenges and prejudices that people face when they do not speak the language fluently or with an accent.
