Doomsday perfrmance in a bunker. For this production, we locked ourselves in for several days in the  dark auditorium of an abandoned cinema. The final performance was presented in old cinemas, underground factory floors and a friend's garage. Topics included: Mushrooms, pills, acoustic guitar spanking and Harry Belafonte. Burn Cities Burn marks the beginning of long-standing artist friendships in with collegues in Finland and Estonia.

Idee, realisation: Showcase Beat Le Mot / Music: Albrecht Kunze

Burn Cities Burn is a prouktion by Showcase Beat Le Mot.

„.... The special quality of Showcase Beat Le Mot: They create atmosphere and intense moods. Traditionalists may consider thsi trash, but people who usually go to clubs or concerts enjoy it.“

(Hamburger Morgenpost, 27.03.2000, Nele-Marie Brüdgam , „Viel mehr Action als bei Big Brother - Intensive Live-Art: Showcase Beat Le Mot auf Kampnagel“ – translation SCBLM)

„In the unpretentious two-hour feast, Showcase Beat Le Mot first show the conditions of humanity and the city under the influence of Western infrastructure. Playing a game of "what if everything disappeared", Burn Cities Burn then also describes the other way around: what happens when they voluntarily decide to step out of everything called reality. And this is where the party begins.“
