In the organizer's words:

Overshoot and Out

A festival for Earth Day

by PATHOS theater and friends

Earth Day takes place every year on April 22. It is an international day of action for environmental protection and mindfulness for nature. Earth Overshoot Day is the day of the year on which we have used up as many natural resources as the Earth can renew within a year. Globally, this day was July 24, 2025. If everyone in the world lived like we do in Germany, it would have been on May 3. The temporal proximity of the two "Earth Days" makes it clear how urgent ecological and social issues are today.

The PATHOS theater invites you to the Overshoot and Out Festival : three days of art, encounters and reflection on our life on this planet - sensual, critical and communal.

The Green Roof - brunch on sustainability in the cultural sector (industry meeting)

With its climate aperitif in January 2025, PATHOS theater brought together a large number of Munich's cultural institutions to share information about their own sustainability projects and learn from others. This has resulted in a steadily growing network of different stakeholders: Measures such as the PATHOS climate impact ticket are entering the mainstream and local experiments are setting a precedent nationwide. The brunch is open to interested parties from the cultural sector.

Concept Dana Pflüger | Production management Katharina Denk

Date: Tue, 28.04. | 11:30
Location: PATHOS theater
Tickets: Free admission, registration by email to dana.pflueger@pathos.theater

Radical Hope - album release concert by Le Millipede

Le Millipede (Mathias Götz) presents his new album Radical Hope. The project is a musical exploration of sustainability, ecological responsibility and future viability - inspired by people who have reflected on the relationship between humans and the earth in very different ways. Each piece is dedicated to a personality, including Hans Carl von Carlowitz, Ernst Friedrich Schumacher, Ernst Basler, James Lovelock, Niko Paech, Baruch de Spinoza, Anna Amalia von Sachsen-Weimar and Joanna Macy. While many of these figures wrote as scientists, economists or philosophers about resources, cycles and moderation, Anna Amalia stands for a different dimension of sustainability: the combination of culture, education and care. With her signature, she initiated the first nationwide forest reform that explicitly referred to the principle of sustainability and combined ecological thinking with artistic openness.

The concert will take place as part of the Overshoot & Out mini-festival at the PATHOS theater - slightly late for the official Earth Day, but entirely in keeping with its message: that the earth is not outside of us, but a living part of ourselves. The starting point for the collaboration was a worm box - a small, closed cosmos in which waste becomes fertile soil. This image became a metaphor for change, finiteness and hope. The ensemble with recorders, viola/tuba, drums, keyboards and trombone creates an organic, colorful sound between composition and improvisation. Radical Hope is not just a concert, but a musical reflection on sustainability - and on hope as a radical, creative attitude.

Birds in the Park - bird song excursion in the Olympic Park with Mathias Götz and City Sound Scapes

After the release concert of Radical Hope, Mathias Götz opens up another world of sound: we go out into the open, into the bird choir of early May - with the most common bird species in the city and all those that can be heard or seen that morning. Dr. Susanne Schmitt and Dr. Katrin Petroschkat from City Soundscapes / HörSalon will contribute short, finely tuned listening impulses to help you listen more attentively.

Participation is limited to 20 people. Binoculars are helpful, but not essential.

Man and Nature - Reading with Sophia Klink and special guest

Literature deals with the relationship between man and nature in a variety of ways and illuminates it from ever new angles. In Klink's debut novel "Kuril Lake", a biologist researches the seemingly untouched nature of Kamchatka and is faced with a dilemma: climate change is threatening the lake's fish stocks, and the research team has to make a recommendation: for or against phosphate fertilization of the lake.

With Sophia Klink and special guest | Moderated by Jan Geiger
