Carved as rough wooden figures, the protagonists chase through a wooden block workshop with a lot of noise and rock music, reviving the age-old battle between good and evil.

There is singing, dancing, and playing that makes a racket. Boom, there you go!

The virtuoso, joyful playfulness of the puppeteers is infectious. In the end, there is unanimity. The story of the Robber Hotzenplotz is good - immortally good - no, wobbly-tooth good.

The peculiar material theater production, in its woodcut-like Punch and Judy interpretation, is a classic.
