The Duo Goebbels/Harth had become a highly creative nucleus for many enterprises. In 1983 Burkhard Hennen asked Harth to form an "all star“ combination for the [[Moers Festival]]. This group became [[Duck and Cover (German band)|Duck and Cover]] for which he conceived a main structural composition idea in relation to contemporary politics.
In 1984 the Duo Goebbels/Harth created a musical theatre piece, ''Nach Aschenfeld'' together with the author and director [[FK Waechter]] and actors Heinz-Werner Kraehkamp and Michael Altmann. This was mounted at the Residenztheater in Munich where they played live within the stage scenery on a huge number of instruments, some partially self made, a kind of role model for Heiner Goebbels's ''Musik Theater'' in his later years.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://a23h-compositions.blogspot.com|title=Alfred Harth compositions |work=Alfred Harth homepage |first=Alfred |last=Harth |accessdate=2016-01-21}}</ref>
