Strom & Water

Sandershaus, Kassel

20 Years Strom & Water – this band is like fireworks! If Heinz Ratz told, one cannot expect anything less than an adventure novel. What haven't the ladies and gentlemen of this band experienced and achieved?: not just tours in Scotland and Iceland, not just performances with musicians and bands as diverse as Sarah Connor, Chumbawamba, or Hannes Wader; not just the spectacular actions of his moral triathlon, in which Heinz Ratz ran 1000km for homeless people across Germany for three consecutive years, swam more than 850km through German rivers for environmental protection, 7000km by bike in winter for a fairer refugee tour, the next year traveled from Nuremberg to Berlin on self-built rafts, to draw attention to the situation of refugee women and, at the same time, invited puppeteers and acrobats to the refugee camps, then his big European project began, then with Konstantin Wecker that “Office of Offensive Culture” created as a musical intervention force for social emergencies, collected over €140,000 for threatened self-managed youth centers in East Germany, during Corona times the mobile one “songwriter survival stage” created and played nationwide last year to protect butterflies and insects.
This evening is a cross-section of the program with many dazzling anecdotes. You can look forward to an incomparable evening!
