Derek Otte - Landverrader

In Landverrader, Derek Otte combines spoken word, jokes, stories and poetry. As a new father, he celebrates his love for what is close to home and voices his concerns about what lies further away. What wise lessons do you pass on to a child when you yourself struggle with things daily?

Searching for answers, he questions reality: through beautiful memories, valuable experiences and dreams for the future, he works towards his own identity. Sharp where it needs to be, light-hearted where it can be.
