AUFSTIEG UND FALL DER STADT MAHAGONNY Comes to Theater Basel
Performances will run beginning August 28.
Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny, an opera in three acts, with music by Kurt Weill and text by Bertolt Brecht, will premiere in August. Performances will run beginning August 28.
A town is founded in the middle of the desert. In Mahagonny, everything is allowed as long as you can pay - «but something is missing!». To escape the emptiness, the characters eat and drink themselves to death, fuck and punch themselves in the grave.
Only in Jim Mahoney does the idea of a more humane existence quietly niggle. Between pub songs and avant-garde sounds, quotes from classical music and dance music, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill built a capitalist paradise in 1930 that is destroyed by its own promises.
Benedikt von Peter's spectacular spatial production celebrates the 50th anniversary of Theater Basel and invites you to wander around the supposed paradise town of Mahagonny.
