Three summers, more than 75 festival shows, and still hungry for more: Treptow, an alternative rock duo from Berlin, has become one of Germany’s top festival bands. With over 14 million streams and more than 300 concerts in 12 countries under their belt, the Berlin-based duo is gearing up for another jam-packed year. Without backing tracks or safety nets, the two-piece delivers the fury and raw energy of a full punk band. With poetry, intensity, and humor, the two friends take the stage with an unmatched drive. Philipp Taubert, singer and guitarist, was born and raised in East Berlin, right in the heart of the capital. Lukas Lindner, drummer and Philipp’s brother from another mother, grew up in a small town by Lake Constance. With Mozambican roots and a restless spirit, he was drawn to the road—just like Philipp. After finishing school, both felt the urge to break free, leave their familiar surroundings behind, and eventually meet each other on their travels. A few years of friendship later, in 2017, they launched their eponymous band in the Berlin district of Treptow and have been shaking up the German-speaking music scene ever since.

MTWM Presents: Riot in School Live in Hong Kong Chengdu rock band Riot in School 返校日 brings their 2nd album Punk Rock Blasphemy (//褻瀆朋克搖滾) to Hong Kong, alongside their hard-hitting and infectious live energy. Details: Date | 2025 May 11 (Sun) Time | Doors 20:00 Venue | The Aftermath, LG/F, 52-54 Wyndham Street Tickets | $120 (soli), $250 (adv) via Eventbrite Special Guests | Bad Actors (HK), TBC Organised by @milkteawithoutmilk (A limited number of solidarity tickets are available for the unwaged, unhoused, unemployed, students, or those who need it.) === Did You Get Everything You Wanted From Your Youth? For Riot in School, it never seemed enough. This is a band living in perpetual anxiety, never satisfied, and full of regrets—but also full of relentless drive. In the summer of 2022, after the bittersweet release of their first album “Ceremony for Corruption”, Riot in School hit the road for their debut national tour. Thirteen shows in unfamiliar cities brought fleeting euphoria, but the joy dissolved as quickly as it came. They returned to routine, haunted by wasted time and craving something more: a bigger audience, a deeper connection, and a stronger voice in this cultural landscape. Amidst post-lockdown turmoil, they expanded from a trio to a quartet and poured two and a half years into creating their second album. It was a grueling process of self-discovery, internal conflict, and artistic obsession. The band gambled everything— their youth, money, and sanity—to craft something sharper, heavier, and more aggressive. Riot in School, as self-proclaimed leaders of China’s new wave of bands, are making the boldest move in their history: a Southeast Asian tour with an expanded five-piece lineup, guest bands from the region’s alternative scene, and their hardest-hitting setlist yet. This is our moment. Will you be there with me? For their Hong Kong stop, the band is joined by local alt-rock trio Bad Actors. === More About Riot in School’s Second Album: 《//褻瀆朋克搖滾》 《//褻瀆朋克搖滾》, translated to “//Punk Rock Blasphemy”, is Riot in School’s sophomore effort, blending the energy of post-hardcore with the melodicism of alternative rock, infused with hip-hop, trip-pop, and experimental electronics to create a sound uniquely their own. Two and a half years in the making, the album emerged from intense conflicts and artistic anxiety; all of the albums’ 11-tracks were self-financed and painstakingly recorded, reflecting the band’s unwavering commitment to leaving no regrets. Mixed by legendary producer Will Yip (known for his work with Title Fight, Turnstile, and more), the album is intricately crafted, divided into three dynamic sections filled with bold experimentation. The album cover and liner notes highlight left-behind children from Sichuan, for whom the band organised a benefit tour back in February of 2025. Information Source: MTWM | eventbrite

「虎豹別墅」最令香港人記起的不是現存的別墅，而是與其同時興建的「萬金油花園」。別墅在1935年建成後，花園免費供市民及遊客參觀。園內佈滿奇山怪洞，佛、道及中國民間傳說造像皆出自胡文虎先生構思，儼如中式「迪士尼」主題公園。其中「十八層地獄」半浮雕壁畫栩栩如生，成為不少香港人的童年陰影，現在回想，其實是我們知道善惡因果道德倫理的源頭，或許，這正是胡文虎的心思。 2008年浪人劇場藝術總監譚孔文曾為香港話劇團以「虎豹別墅」為主題創作《虎豹別野》，成績斐然。17年後，他將延續舊作以此為題創作全新演出。 2025年浪人劇場《虎豹別墅》是一齣揉合個人情感及社會記憶、遊走在神話和傳記之間的「仿 Cabaret」演出，期望觀眾從娛樂中感受已消逝的詭異，建構真正的美。 誠如德國戲劇藝術家布萊希特在《戲劇小工具篇》如是說：「戲劇就是要生動地反映人與人之間流傳的或者想像的事件，其目的是為了娛樂。」 本節目内容涉及不雅用語及令人情緒不安情節，12歲以下人士恕不招待。 演出全長約100分鐘，不設中場休息。 門票一經售出，恕不退換。 導演 / 編劇 / 舞台設計：譚孔文 監製：林碧芝 表演者（筆劃序）：伍卓輝、伍詠霞、林嘉寳、曾慕雪、黃家峻、蔡啟楓 燈光設計：張素宜 現場音樂 / 作曲：陳庭章 音響設計 / 作曲：鄧一言 服裝設計：陳寶欣 舞台監督：莊曉庭 執行舞台監督：吳穎璋
