Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort! - Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge
Johann von Bülow, Walter Sittler
»Ich gebe Ihnen mein Ehrenwort!«: Die Weltgeschichte der Lüge
On average, a person lies 200 times a day. The lie is the glue of world history. The documents that founded the Papal State and turned Hamburg into a Hanseatic city - forged! Maybe even half of the Middle Ages is an invention ... And then the 19th century - the great age of con artists! They sell the Eiffel Tower and the city of London in parts. Not to forget that in the 20th century, of course, no one intended to build a wall in Berlin, or had a "sexual relation with that woman." Finally, the world history of lies!
After the overwhelming success of their reading in honor of Roger Willemsen and Dieter Hildebrandt at the St. Pauli Theater in Hamburg, Walter Sittler (Hildebrandt) and Johann von Bülow (Willemsen) are now touring with their entertaining quest for the truth about lies. Newly arranged and gently updated, they throw around scandalous untruths and underhanded intrigues. Very much to the enjoyment of the audience, who after this evening may be poorer by a few illusions.
“A great fun. Willemsen and Hildebrandt reloaded with the two beloved TV stars.”
SITTLER: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry that we cannot bring you better news about our species so far. I’m also sorry because I have taken you to my heart.”
BÜLOW: “Oh my God.”
SITTLER: “It hurts to have to bring bad news to such good people.”
