A witty and spirited revue with Johann von Bülow and Stefan Wilkening

In this one-of-a-kind theatre evening, Johann von Bülow and Stefan Wilkening pull back the curtain on the mythologized profession of acting. Forever torn between elation and despair, celebrated or defeated - actors must be able to balance one foot over a financial abyss while the other glides along the red carpet. They can do a little of everything, but nothing perfectly. And woe to them if they turn out to be nothing like the person their audience imagined. Accordionist Maria Reiter accompanies the two actors as they share stories from the worlds of film and theatre, sing, and perform. All questions finally get answered, stubborn clichés are dismantled, big dreams are dreamed, fears are laid bare, and the audience is paid tribute - above all, to the love of the most beautiful profession in the world.
