Radio Play: WARPOP MIXTAKE FAKEBOOK VOLXFUCK PEACE OFF! 'Schland of Confusion

Is German angst back? Or was it never gone? andcompany&Co. will hot-wire the current paranoia with the apocalyptic scenarios of the 80ies. The outcome is a catastrophy-musical with a cathartic effect.
Terrorism, islamism, vapour trails in the sky, big brother USA and small tsar Putin – everything is threatening. We are full of angst! Whoever ‘we’ are? While a peace movement 2.0. is forming, some patriotic Europeans are already waiting around the corner. Has the repressed come back? Do scenarios of the 80ies, when angst of (nuclear) armament was everywhere and Frankie Goes to Hollywood made the world explode in a music video, echo in current choirs of the so-called worried citizens? andcompany&Co. shred their tapes and like the bomb. Back to No Future! The time travel leads straight back to the heart of our times.
