LIVE PHOTO & FILM SHOW BY AND WITH WILLI WEITZEL
Age recommendation: for everyone from 5 - 99 years
We dream of being an influencer or a soccer star, of big trips and lots of money, of happiness and peace and sometimes just of a roof over our heads and a daily meal. Willi Weitzel - known from Willi wills wissen - asked many people about their dreams. He came up with even more questions: What do I dream about? What stops me from fulfilling my dreams? Do children dream bigger than adults? Why am I being talked out of my dreams? Can we learn to dream?
Willi tells impressive stories - accompanied by powerful photos on a large canvas - about his encounters with people all over the world and how he fulfills his own childhood dreams.
He goes on a long journey on a raft he built himself, takes the longest walk of his life, treats himself to a visit to the land of milk and honey and sets off on a journey through the wide world. In the process, he experiences how differently people dream: often modest and small, but also that dreams can grow and develop magical powers.
A show full of real life, encouraging adventures, moving depth, crazy ideas and funny anecdotes. Anyone who knows Willi knows that this will be more than just entertainment, it will be an experience that touches and resonates. 90 minutes of laughter, amazement, excitement and, of course, dreaming! And what are you dreaming about?
PS: Willi received fantastic support from Annika Preil (Anna und die wilden Tiere) and Julian Jansen (Checker Julian) in making his dreams come true.
Willi Weitzel studied to become a secondary school teacher before taking thousands of children's hearts (and those of their parents) by storm with the TV show "Willi wills wissen". In his incomparably charming and mischievous way, he asked countless questions to get to the bottom of the many things that make our planet so unique. With around 450,000 moviegoers, "Willi and the Wonders of the World" has been one of the most popular documentaries in recent years. During filming, Willi was able to get a taste of the wide world. His thirst for adventure was awakened and he went from being a roving reporter to a traveling reporter. He tells his audience live on stage what he experiences on the road. Since then, "Willis wilde Wege" has captivated countless audiences. He is currently on tour with his new show "Willi live - And what are you dreaming of?".
Willi Weitzel also volunteers as a sponsor for the children's charity UNICEF and as an ambassador for the UN Decade on Biodiversity. Willi is also patron of the initiative "Junge Forscherinnen und Forscher e.V." He has been awarded the Grimme Prize, the Bavarian Television Prize, the Erich Kästner Television Prize and the Grand Prize of the German Academy for Children's and Young People's Literature, among others.
