As regular summer music festival guests know, the artists who participate in the festival will present the drama in various forms, never sticking to one form. This year, there are many wonderful performances with ingenuity and praise, which people can hardly imagine. Kampnagel Theatre's dramatic music and culture program is the top priority of this year's Hamburg International Summer Music Festival. The Hamburg International Summer Music Festival 2019 is a grand scale, brought a variety of cultural feasts to the audience.

Scientists, writers and artists from all walks of life have joined the Kampnagel Theatre to focus on climate change. David Foster Wallace, author of Unhabitable Earth, discussed the factors and scientific assumptions that affect climate change at the conference; Mark Peranson, director of Berlinale, presented a series of films on the subject; and Kris Verdonck, through Something out of nothing, used a synaesthetic and visual approach, an amazing way to show off on stage a journey to the edge of the world.

"3GRADPLUS Live Report" showed us what will happen in the future if we don't make any changes to the environmental protection of the earth and continue to live as usual. In addition, other themes included growth, all kinds of imaginative music types, all kinds of strange life, dance, drama and so on.
