KIFFEN, KAFFEE & KAJAL
or why we are all Orientals

by and with
KERIM PAMUK

KIFFEN, KAFFEE & KAJAL or why we are all Orientals – A cabaret evening by and with Kerim Pamuk about globalization a thousand years ago and today. About the value of exchange, communication, and the funny consequences of isolation. You will laugh a lot, be amazed, and learn what our correctly washed yogurt cup, which we throw into the recycling bin, has to do with China's aspirations for power.

Why Europe was for a thousand years only the backyard of Asia in terms of culinary, cultural, and scientific aspects. Why Arabs, Chinese, Indians, and Indonesians are not quite so fond of Europeans and how black gold (pepper) became the remedy for Germans against constipation, potency problems, and melancholy.

K.K.&K. - An entertaining evening about cultural influences and linguistic mishaps. About German sanctuaries like coffee and sofa, which we owe to the Arabs, and philological accidents like "24/7" and "I'm fine with it," which we owe to Americans.
