In order to welcome you safely, we took some measures against the Corona virus.
Club Gewalt goes musical. Why? Because it’s necessary.
Science made it official. Together with this entire clump of rock & soil, we have entered a new geological era in which Man is the biggest influence on the earth’s surface: the Anthropocene. And we = fucked. Anthropocene, the Musical is a musical on steroids, that turns to our last resort in this ecological crisis: making its complexity bearable through a showstopping epos with song and dance.

In an exhilarating opening-song that would make Walt Disney jealous, Man sings of the beautiful Dutch landscape; the flower bulb fields, the polder meadows, the dams. But then suddenly a dyke bursts open and ruins the delightful tunes. Ocean makes her entrance to ring all the alarms: natural resources are running out, climates are flipping, according to the latest calculations so-called tipping points will be reached within the next eight to eleven years and David Attenborough already made a documentary that says farewell to our beloved Gaia. With the help of his new friends the Jellyfish, Man decides to step up and starts slapping together a bit of innovating geo-engineering. But will it be enough to prevent an apocalypse?
