As part of his residency, the project \u2018Fatherhood\u2019 will be hosted by Un-Label from 17 to 28 November 2025. In the research project \u2018Fatherhood\u2019, Dodzi Dougban explores the role of fathers after separation and focuses on the marginalised perspective of deaf black fathers. Based on interviews, research and his own reflections, his intersectional approach addresses alienation, audism, ableism, racism, communication barriers and the daily struggle with authorities. The material will later be used to create a solo performance that combines dance with art forms such as sign language poetry and Visual Vernacular (VV).<\/p>\n

Dodzi Dougban is a deaf dancer, performer and choreographer from Recklinghausen. He wants to overcome barriers through inclusive art experiences and show that communication is a powerful tool for social change. In his work, he poetically integrates sign language into dance, thus connecting the hearing and deaf worlds. His original passion for urban dance has given rise to new and unique forms of expression and body language.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dodzi is currently working on his new piece, \u2018Vaterschaft\u2019 (Fatherhood), which is set to premiere in Cologne in 2026. This project marks Dodzi’s first time as artistic director. With this project, he aims to highlight the perspective of deaf fathers. In his exhibitions and presentations, he focuses on making social diversity visible and encouraging reflection.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is convinced that inclusive performances can break down prejudices, strengthen diversity and promote social participation for all.<\/p>\n
