An important medical breakthrough has a shameful history. In 1840s Alabama, a slave-owning doctor performs medical experiments on involuntary subjects - enslaved women - in an effort to solve the problem of fistulas, a post-childbirth anomaly.

Im April 1998 trat Robert Gernhardt auf die Bühne des Bonner Pantheons und präsentierte - sich selbst. Das erheiterte Publikum lernte seine 13 Gesichter kennen, etwa den gottgesandten Propheten, den anspruchsvollen Märchenonkel oder den weit blickenden Kulturkorrespondenten. Mustermann Gernhardt erzählte auch von Italien: Sie sind ein heiteres Volk, diese Italiener. Dolce far niente, heißt ihre Devise. Der Duce tut nichts... Aber hören Sie selbst und lernen Sie Gernhardt so richtig kennen!

Christoph Sieber gelingt mit seinen bitterbösen Texten eine gnadenlose Sicht auf unsere Zeit. Warum werden die, denen wir unsere Kinder anvertrauen schlechter bezahlt als die, denen wir unser Geld anvertrauen? Und wie konnte es kommen, dass wir Konsumenten sind, User, Zuschauer, Deutsche, aber immer weniger Mensch? Doch Sieber wäre nicht Sieber, gäbe es nicht auch immer die schelmische, urkomische, und komödiantische Seite, die uns lachen lässt über unser Dasein und so ein eindrucksvolles und begeisterndes Kabarettvergnügen schafft.

Die drei Mitbegründer der Satirezeitschriften Pardon und Titanic und Autoren zahlreicher deutscher Komödien, darunter die Otto- und 7-Zwerge- Filme, zeigen uns ein Licht am Ende des Bildungstunnels.
