Osan Yaran

Osan Yaran on tour with new show "Shall we begin?"

"Shall we begin?" - that's more than just a title. It's the moment just before: when everything is ready, when you know it's about to start. A simple question that feels like a starting signal. This is exactly how Osan Yaran opens his new program. A glance at the audience, a brief grin and then there's no turning back. With his fourth solo program "Shall we begin?", Osan Yaran shows the most personal and at the same time most pointed side of his humour to date.

It's about getting older, about moments that you would actually rather suppress, for example the first time or prostate examinations. Or the absurd situation in which you are suddenly mistaken for a doctor on the train and realize that being an adult is sometimes just well-acted improvisation.

Between fatherhood, marriage, the stage and daily madness, Osan observes the world with an eye that is both sharp and self-deprecating. Memories of family, first insecurities and life's formative encounters meet contemporary issues such as artificial intelligence, social media and the excessive demands of a man trying to do justice to everything.

With full physical commitment, precise timing and his unmistakable directness, Osan Yaran combines personal stories with the big questions of everyday life. "Shall we begin?" is not a quiet prelude, but the moment when expectation turns into energy and it becomes clear: here we go.
