«Katastrophen Club»
The «Katastrophen Club» is a digital clubnight on Zoom, somewhere between concert, happening & talk format. True to Boris Johnson's motto „There are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.“, «Club für Melodien», together with four musicians and an actor, create a musical-performative playground in which the catastrophe is the main protagonist. We cheer up and condemn the disaster. We celebrate it like „dias de los muertos“ celebrate death. It's like if the catastrophe would be sitting at the table with us, having dinner.
In the virtual concert hall, death metal meets a catastrophe-relief-guide and Bulgarian choirs meet apocalyptic theories of Johannes Kepler while at the bar they philosophize about cosmic rebirth. What is happening in the toilet or in the backstage? Do you want to know it? Or even talk with us? Then come to the «Katastrophen Club» and bring your own disasters with you. Or just a memory of your last club night. You're favourite club is bankrupt? Just smile! Or as Boris Johnson said: „There is no dis ...“ etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.
