Jochen Malmsheimer, born on July 27, 1961 in Essen, is a master of language and subtle humor. Growing up in Bochum, he discovered his love of literature and the stage at an early age. After leaving school, he first studied German and history before deciding to train as a bookseller. But the world of printed words was not enough for him - the stage was calling.

With his stage programs, he has created his own art form, the "epic cabaret", which he celebrates with unique linguistic power and inimitable stage presence. Whether humorous observations of everyday life, socio-critical analyses or poetic digressions - Malmsheimer knows how to captivate the audience with his eloquent monologues. His programs are a firework display of language that provokes laughter, reflection and amazement in equal measure.

The title of Jochen Malmsheimer's new program goes back to Simon Bolivar, who, if the Internet is to be believed - and far too many people do - lived with Jean Paul Sartre for a long time. But perhaps it was also Simone Signoret who lived with Sartre.

Or Sartre lived alone, but constantly in the boudoire. Or perhaps Sartre didn't live with anyone, except perhaps a Beaujolais and a few jetons and gitanes. Who can say? And, above all, why?

There are no elands, bromeliads or other sweet grasses in this morning-empty but evening-long program because they are, quite rightly, strictly protected. In addition to all sorts of other peculiarities, the program deals with the fundamental error of cycling, the rarity of art, its mysterious relationship to the moon and other big and medium-sized questions, and does so very rigorously.

But as always and everywhere, the same applies here: Only the wind knows what really happens!

"Malmsheimer creates word novelties and praises the Lüneburg water for its velvety-soft "mildness". The audience in the well-attended Kulturforum can barely keep their seats from laughing."
