An evening that sharpens literature and theater through the lens of lies
When two prominent actors bring the world history of lies to the stage, more than just a reading emerges: It becomes a literary experience between linguistic art, subtle irony, and intellectual sharpness. Walter Sittler and Johann von Bülow present their program »I give you my word of honor!« in Mainz on Friday, December 11, 2026, at 8:00 PM at Frankfurter Hof. The basis is an evening that, according to the event announcement, dissects great historical deceptions, scams, and political untruths with wit and precision.

Between history, satire, and literary stance
The material is wisely chosen: The lie does not appear as a marginal note, but as a motif of world history, power, and self-staging. This is precisely where the literary quality of this evening lies. Johann von Bülow, who has also emerged as an author with »Roxy«, and Walter Sittler, whose stage work has shaped readings and theater formats for years, combine acting, storytelling, and pointed reflection into a dense reading atmosphere.
