Eleftherios Salomidis – Deutsch für Anfänger

Eleftherios Salomidis tells his own story of deciding to leave everything behind and start afresh in a new country. Amidst linguistic chaos, bureaucracy and a search for identity, a comically tragic evening’s theatre unfolds, one that is as brutally honest as it is surprisingly humorous.

With subtle humour, self-deprecating emotional depth and a powerful stage presence, Salomidis brings his first German-language solo performance to the stage.

A play about migration, language and the space in between: between understanding and misunderstanding, between arriving and losing, between what we can say – and what we feel.

New country. New language. A new me?

Or perhaps simply: making mistakes, laughing, carrying on.

‘German for Beginners’ brings a true story of migration to the stage – unvarnished, funny, tragic and bloody honest.

No filters. No clichés. Just reality. An evening that entertains, unsettles and lingers in the mind.
