END-SPIEL mit Verlängerung - Lothar Bölck

You have to think about things from the end, because then you know that cellulose is used to make napkins and toilet paper. Every end begins when the beginning ends. If you lose the preliminary round, you don't reach the final. That's the rule. But we keep playing anyway. Because we're not eliminated. We're simply no longer in the game. Yet the final won't happen without us. We have tickets.

Lothar Bölck, "the German Louis de Funès among cabaret performers" (Celler Nachrichten), has made it to the final. Man against the world. So far it's a draw. But for whom? At the end of his playing time, Bölck asks himself: will there be a winner? And if so, why not? Are we standing with one foot in the offside or in the hereafter?

If you want to see and hear how many politicians, media figures and cultural figures score own goals and usually hit the mark, then order yourself a seat in the arena or hall of your choice. And show up on time. Because when the end is near, you shouldn't miss the beginning!
