‘America doesn’t exist’
loosely based on the short story of the same name by Peter Bichsel
The king at the Spanish court is bored; no jester can amuse him, and he even intends to have the last one, Hansel, executed. The shy Colombin is forced to witness the execution, but manages, through his naivety, to dissuade the king from going through with it and is subsequently appointed the king’s new companion. So as not to disappoint him, he pretends to have discovered a new land. The great navigator Amerigo Vespucci investigates this and confirms the discovery of the land. Colombin, terrified that his lie would be exposed, throws his arms round Amerigo’s neck and cries out in relief, ‘Amerigo!’ Now people believe that the new land is called ‘America’. Colombin is named ‘Columbus’ by the king, and people continue to pass on the story.
