Get out of your suit, get rid of your tie, wipe off your make up, the false modesty, the reserved smile and the niceties! Damn the social corset! Take the golden necklace, the cap and the baggy that is much too wide! Because, we don’t want to limit ourselves anymore! We want to show who we can be! We want to spit on the floor, take the space we deserve, mercilessly express our opinion and pose really cool.
katze und krieg invite their adult audience to dress with loose t-shirts, baggies, cappies and golden necklaces and then move around the block as gangs. Along the way, they learn from teenagers how to rap, breakdance, pass tests of courage and spray graffiti. Thus, the adults are guided by the youth specialists to take space, say what they think and dare, in short: HOW TO BECOME DEEPLY COOL!
