Von Sokrates bis Putin in 90 Minuten
2500 years of Western civilization in 90 minutes and by the end, you won't feel tired at all. On the contrary, you'll be in a good mood, stimulated, and full of energy, as you encounter the most diverse personalities on this journey: gods and mortals, dictators and saints, poets and philosophers.
The painter Michael Ferner, the actor and songwriter Georg Clementi, and the guitarist Ossy Pardeller have renounced the youth fad and decided to be ancient. In their centuries-long lives, they meet among others Socrates, a young Hebrew who has become God, Christopher Columbus, Galileo Galilei, Friedrich Nietzsche, and finally Putin, and all reveal astonishing things to them.
Clementi has adapted the clever text of the Italo-Swiss Ferruccio Cainero for himself and two friends, and together they create a crossover evening full of humor and wit.
The adventure is exciting… and its ending uncertain. But after this delightful entertainment, you will know a little more about God and the world, and although you will laugh heartily, you may also have an inkling of why there is war in Ukraine.
