Stefan Leonhardsberger: Rauhnacht — Ein Kabarett-Thriller

In "RAUHNACHT", Stefan Leonhardsberger embodies ten offbeat characters, from a single farmer to a psychopathic teenager, who could not have been better invented by Tarantino. Martin Schmid accompanies the bitterly evil one-man show with a cinematic live soundtrack.

When 15-year-old Nora Höllerbauer disappears without a trace on New Year's Eve, her father Erich sets out to find her. But instead of his daughter, the lonely farmer only encounters half-strong corpses of booze, frightened villagers and a talkative raven. A dark secret surrounds Nora's disappearance - and soon the snow in tranquil Engelsberg turns purple.

In this black-humored winter thriller, author Paul Klambauer creates ten characters, which Stefan Leonhardsberger brings to the stage in an ecstatic solo performance. He sings, dances and gets into his own pants while a mysterious story unfolds that vividly shows us why it's better to stay at home on New Year's Eve. His partner Martin Schmid provides the live soundtrack as acoustic set designer with guitar and voice.

A fantastic evening, a great moment for a genre that no one has mastered like its inventors Stefan Leonhardsberger and author Paul Klambauer. Six out of six stars. - Oberösterreichische Nachrichten
