Hussein Kauk “They broke my hair”

In most comic book dramas, the comedian appears in the ecstasy of pure comics. He, according to theorist Patrice Pavis, “looks mad… and his appearance allows him to comment on events without fear of punishment. He only sees what the wisdom of others cannot understand. This is something that can refer to comedian Hussein Kauk, especially after the campaign in which he was involved with theater director and actor Mohamed Dayih, after staging the comedy scene on the Al Jadid channel a few months ago. and launch a campaign against them, some pioneers put social networks under the hashtag “Ashello min Shaaru”.

From now on, the two will return to the show “Stand Up Comedy” of the same name (60 D – Director: Mohamed Dayeh – Screenplay: Hussein Kauk and Mohamed Dayh) on the stage of the City Theater. And participating in the opening presentation, Hussein Dayih, who opens the show, in a funny, cute and cute style. After Kauk’s two-year absence from staging shows like this, “Standup comedy” is associated with the immediate context in which Lebanese live, with a series of crises. It also exposes social hypocrisy and evil racism. Hussein Kauk speaks, as always, sincerely, spontaneously and naturally, far from big names, concepts and terms, in his approach to living reality. He tells us that the content of the show is not limited to the Lebanese audience, but also includes different segments of the Arab region.
Showing Stand-Up Comedy on stages like Al Madinah may not be popular, as shows like this usually take place on Chanzunes stages. In this context, Kauk said the purpose of holding a show at this particular location is to bring the audience to the stage, enliven the cultural work, stimulate the audience’s hearing and sight, and activate their perception and attention. , especially in terms of the content of the show.
“The audience that attends our performances may not be accustomed to going to the theater at most, and this is normal due to marginalization and lack of balanced cultural development.” As such, Ashello min Shaaru aims to stimulate theater culture and bring it to all groups, and “that’s what we’re most committed to,” according to Kauk, adding, “We don’t impose a lifestyle or approach to a particular image. . ” life, to the viewer, but we turn to reality. We try to dissect it and then say it in a funny way. ” Accordingly, “Eliminate feelings” leaves the moral-political discourse. “It’s just that the show observes certain things that the audience experiences and conveys them to them through the artwork.” So Kauk inserted, as usual, the stories, tales and anecdotes that he lived with his family, his people and his environment, and made it a joke that required reflection and formulating questions about at present, as if it were tragedies and comedies. is equal to this show.

He represents the current crisis and exposes social hypocrisy and heinous racism.

Kauk said that while working in the theater, he experienced a great social acceptance, which now requires a double responsibility: don’t waste everything recently built. Although Kauk’s popularity is based on Instagram and Facebook platforms, theater has always been in demand in Kauk. “I don’t aspire to be a social media star,” because theater comes first for him. Perhaps in this way he will put the pioneers of social networks in new spaces and cultural spaces that they were not accustomed to before.
Kauk emphasizes that the show is, as always, a one-man and private production, and there are no “cultural foundations or donors to fund his shows.” The same goes for any upcoming television work.
Hussein continues the theatrical work through the Stand-Up Comedy portal to view an audience that may be torn apart by major conflicts but united by social strife and successive crises. Opinions may differ on what Qaouk offers depending on the affiliate, but the only consensus is a “pain” at all.
