ENGLISH BREAKFAST - Bshare Khato, Jesidisch Poet, Actor, Author (DE/ENG)

My guest Bshare Khato is a Jesidish from Iraq who came to Göppingen in 2013. Initially studying Art and Theater in Dahock, North Iraq, he broke his studies since then. In 2008 and 2009, he published two books of poems in the Kurmanji language, which is the northernmost of the Kurdish languages spoken in various regions.

His original aspiration was to become a teacher were sidetracked but he continues to learn German and be involved in the arts and education of children. In addition to his literary pursuits, he worked as a radio journalist in Sinjar, providing information in Kurmanji and taught the language to those who lacked formal education.

Bshare Khato wrote his book of poems regarding the Jesidisch Experience followed by second book, titled "Dying is my shadow"

In our talk he also touches on the significance of Lalisch, a central sanctuary for Jesiden, and Herfa, the spiritual Earth. When Jesiden move to a new country, they bring some of this earth with them to establish a connection with their new home. Lalisch is described as a wooded valley situated over 1000 meters high, surrounded by three mountains—Hizrat, Misat, and Arafat.

Here in Germany he has also performed in local Theatre and is persuing an apprentiship to become a kindergarten teacher, is an active member of the committee of migrants and wishes to produce children's books.
