KATZENMUSIK

From the company that brought you BLACKPILL., Paracosm has reimagined Katzenmusik into an explosive new piece of radical punk-rock political theatre bound to put the metaphorical middle finger to your landlord this June.

KATZENMUSIK (German, n.) 'katsənmuˌziːk'

caterwaul; a shrill howling or wailing noise (of a cat)

A viral video, a company capitalising on fear, prank calls, class divide and a cat memorial. The increasing income gap between rich and poor has pushed the residents of Burnside Town to breaking point.

Katzenmusik champions the experience of those constantly bending over backwards to please a landlord who treats them like shit, keeping peace with an underqualified boss and trying not to think about the fact that their life basically amounts to transferring wealth from one of them to the other. The show is a war cry for the younger generation to remind us all that the people hold true power over the oppressors.
