Cinema Tribuna: "Olivia El Sayed" in Ilanz

0814 – Life on average
"Aren't we all like everyone, if only because we all don't want to be like everyone else?" asks Olivia El Sayed, hitting us the nose like a child's foot. After all, who wants to be average? "0814 — Life on the Average" is a cheerful toast to mediocrity and the fact that although we may all be very peculiar in our striving for individuality, happiness and two identical socks on our feet, we are all part of the very large group of amiably average people.
The author reads, narrates and illustrates, all based on her keen powers of observation, accompanied by quiet poetry and loud laughter. And so the audience goes home not only with new insights, but also with a little love letter to themselves in their pockets.
Olivia El Sayed was born in Winterthur in 1981 and lives with her family on the outskirts of Zurich.
