Synopsis
Peter Fox performs "Alles neu" in a surreal urban spectacle populated by marching drummers, masked figures, dancing women in dirndls, and other eccentric characters. The video moves between staged performance images and choreographed group scenes, giving the song a theatrical, parade-like energy. Fox remains the visual focal point as the surrounding world shifts between stern military imagery, absurd costume details, and exuberant movement. Its deliberately heightened style mirrors the track's themes of upheaval, transformation, and sweeping change.
