Tough on the outside, soft on the inside

Insects do not have the best reputation with people. They sting and bite, crawl into corners and crevices and, with their spindly legs and antennae, are simply just disgusting - that is the commonly held perception. At the same time, many insects are extremely important for ecological balance! Beetles, for instance, break up the soil, compost waste, contribute to the pollination of plants and control pests. The band Bad Bugs gives a voice to the oppressed – and fights back against the fact that more and more habitats for insects are being destroyed. With synthesisers, electric guitars and their voices, they bring the »Underground Sound« of the world of bugs onto the stage and musically present their way of looking at things. They do not wish to be repressed any longer! Together with the audience, they transform their environment so that everyone feels comfortable within it, people and animals alike.

»Twinkle Concerts« is the series of children’s concerts at the Elbphilharmonie that brings the most successful productions from all over Europe to Hamburg. At times funny and playful, at others thoughtful and reflective, the series introduces children to the world of music in a special and unique way.
