The Social Group | Songs to sing when the world ends

A rebellious and powerful song recital

What can we do when hope is in short supply, certainties are fading, society is disintegrating and community is being called into question? The Social Group searches for answers together with the audience and celebrates the revolutionary power of peaceful communication - music.

The Soziale Gruppe sees singing together as a support in our crisis-ridden reality. Where people sing, we settle down, but even bad people have songs. And there is no room for quiet nuances or doubts in a loudly performed protest song. It is not the volume of many voices, but the collective ability to modulate and change that creates hope. We want to make use of this ability and sing about feelings such as fear, powerlessness and despair in order to let go of them, to be strengthened in the here and now and to be able to look stronger into the future.
