History in slices - How music makes politics
Without the groundbreaking invention of the electric guitar, history would have taken a different course. The 1968s, Jimi Hendrix, the hippies, Janis Joplin and Woodstock would not have happened as we know them without the invention of the electric guitar.
It is the soundtrack and its resonance in society that make a movement successful. The squatters had Ton Steine Scherben and the peace movement had Bots & BAP. The women's movement had Ina Deter, the punks had Patti Smith. Today, the climate movement has no sound of its own and is in danger of losing it: The earth is getting hotter all the time. A catastrophe that Jürgen Becker analyzes perfectly with "Deine Disco".
"Deine Disco" is a cabaret program like no other: politics, records, protest and punchlines are mixed live on stage as a rousing radio show. They take a satirical deep dive into the sound files of the turbulent youth and even save the future in the end: Follow the Science.
