Three years after Kuh auf dem Eis and following the international success of their last motto, “Let’s just call it 1.5°”, they continue their journey under the new theme 1.5° – Some Like It HOT—from Bern to Oslo and back.

The artistic direction is in the hands of the two Westphalians, Benjamin Weidekamp and Michael Haves, whose collaboration now spans a quarter of a century—through projects like Olaf Ton, Filter Bubble, and Brigade Futur III. With over 20 musicians, they take on the musical challenges of our time.

As the duo leadership comes to an end, they present the Greatest Hits of the past six years: pieces about a corporation in therapy, Waltraud—the wealthy sister of Emil, the confessions of an economic hitman, everyday life at the supermarket checkout, the myth of green growth, and the eternal question: Shouldn’t we be doing something more respectable?

They put into music what often gets stuck in the throat in everyday life—personal conflicts, societal contradictions, and the absurdities of capitalism. Not with a moralizing finger, but with humor and sharp wit.
