He owns seven knives, snorts, drinks and steals his grandmother's singing coffee grinder. Seven knives and a pistol are part of his equipment, and as the most cunning robber in the history of children's books, he can finally be seen on a stage again: Ragga Hotzenplotz!


Teeth chatter, gunpowder takes on a life of its own and the smell of homemade hotdogs fills the room, while magician Petrosilius Zwackelmann and robber Hotzenplotz hold Kasperl and Seppl captive in their hiding places. Showcase Beat Le Mot invites us to dance with the robber: thick raggarid dims and fat magic show us his world as the only alternative to the one here.

For seven years Hotzenplotz and everything that belongs to him was trapped in a cage, walled up behind stage sets and flight cases. Kasperl and Seppel had done a great job. After his escape to the Black Box Theater in Oslo, he celebrates his freedom in a revival at the Theater an der Parkaue, where his post-dramatic foray began in 2007.

To make Showcase Beat Le Mot's twisted world accessible to even more people, the performances are in simultaneous sign language interpretation.
