They wrote powerful protest songs about the right to be who you are
About a life that unravels for lack of a home of one’s own. About racism and its impact. And about everything that grates in a world full of contradictions and war. Four young writers have put into words what moves them, angers them and keeps them awake.
Mats Voshol put their texts to music and put together a four-piece band. So good that you’ll fall in love with them instantly. They created a theatre concert that’s bursting with energy.
