In Vienna, one encounters “Mr. Karl” in many characters, in countless places. Helmut Qualtinger’s character, which has become a classic, is omnipresent. Qualtinger’s text was first performed at the Schubert Theater in Vienna as a puppet show with Nikolaus Habjan. Now the award-winning evening, which was awarded the audience prize at “bestOFFstyria 2.10”, is being shown at Schauspielhaus Graz. With the help of his puppets, Nikolaus Habjan slips into a variety of roles, all of which together make up “Der Herr Karl”.

“People will laugh and cry about Mr. Karl, they will condemn and pity him, they will quote him, they will encounter him – as the highest confirmation of his validity – at every turn. His seemingly random talk contains in concentrated form the substance of a contemporary novel or a period piece, is at the same time a testimony to an epoch, the revelation of an attitude and the result of masterly literary composition, in a word: a piece of the world.” (Hans Weigel)
