In the organizer's words:

A PREVIOUSLY UNNAMED DAY IN 1987

Collective "Institute for Leisure Research"

The year is 1987, climate change is already showing its effects, but has not yet been named as such. The Cold War is in its final stages and change is in the air in a divided Germany. In this very year, on August 31, an interview takes place that will change the course of history. On that day, Reinhold Messner and Thomas Gottschalk sit opposite each other. And for the first time, Messner talks publicly about his yeti sighting on Nanga Parbat. Messner expects to become the target of ridicule, to go down in history as a hallucinating oddball suffering from a lack of oxygen. But nothing of the sort happens...

In a magical mockumentary theater evening, the "Institute for Leisure Research" tells of an alternative historiography in which a hairy giant single-handedly brings capitalism and climate change to their knees.
