WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Die Roten Punkte a.k.a. Otto and Astrid Rot make a number of North American stops on their international Robot/Lion Tour, including engagements at the Spoleto Festival (June 3-5), New York's Barrow Street Theatre (June 23-28), and the Toronto Fringe (July 2-9).
The Pop-Punk/Electro-Clash and Comedy sensation Die Roten Punkte is the international award-winning hit of the Edinburgh, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto and Spoleto Festivals.
Described as a "tantrum-loving, sonic collision between Plastic Bertrand, Kraftwerk and early Ramones," Die Roten Punkte is truly unique. The duo's songs are ridiculously infectious and their live show is one of the most irreverent and hilarious gigs on the scene today.
Things have not always been easy for the Rots. After being orphaned at a young age (their parents were killed by a lion or a train, depending on which sibling's story you believe), the pair scraped by in squats in Kreutzberg and became homeless in Amsterdam. But after a baptism by fire (started by one of Astrid's cigarettes) in the underground rock scene of Berlin, they have clawed their way to European fame in true punk rock tradition.

A visit to Google is enough to dispel most of the PR hype surrounding Die Roten Punkte, now at the Barrow Street Theatre as part of their international tour. But does it really matter if Astrid and Otto Rot are truly Berlin-born siblings orphaned at a young age who have risen to become household names in Europe or not, when their show is truly hilarious.
The duo, whose name is translated to The Red Dots, have gained renown for their unique mixture of rock and role play. Otto is a devout, straight-edge punkster and a passionate proponent of veggies, virginity, and herbal tea. Astrid, on[...]
