Duty Calls, with Torben Steno, Johan Olsen, Søren Mikkelsen and Peter Jessen, comes to Bremen Teater with their traditional Christmas concert
Expensive, ugly, stupid and bad... This is the image with which Pligten Kalder takes to the stage when the gradually sober quartet once again ventures out onto the country roads of the kingdom, which bring them past the Bremen Theatre with their annual Christmas concert.

They generously share some of the suffering of still being in the world. Words as well as tones stem from the many disappointments Pligten Kalder has with them. There will be bitter tasters from the unfinished musical "Emhøtte og Ulven", and the commercially unsuccessful album "Til Afståelse" from 2024. However, it has had several plays on Spotify in Africa, including in Burkina Faso.
