In a compulsory shared flat in Betreute Wohnen e.V., Hermannplatz, Berlin live: Rabea, who imitates birdcalls during her frequent panic attacks; Queen Tiger, the self-proclaimed eBay voodoo witch who practices love magic in the flat using gnawed up chicken bones; and Musti, a Syrian refugee who tries to spice up his German with sayings just wide of the mark. The three of them have absolutely nothing in common, and Rabea avoids her roommates to the best of her ability until Musti finds the grumpy landlord (allegedly) dead. After Queen Tiger’s resurrection spell fails, they immediately realize that they have to do away with the body. But how do you get rid of a corpse in the middle of Berlin?

Filiz Penzkofer takes the audience on a zany adventure – and into the world of someone with an anxiety disorder who rises above it.
