The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
At the Teatro Real de Madrid, the Catalan collective La Fura dels Baus presents a new production of Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. This mordant satire on capitalism and the relentless industrialisation of a society where the ultimate guilt is not having money was written in the 1930s by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. Food, sex, gambling, and violence reign supreme in Mahagonny, a city lost in the middle of a desert governed by three thugs.
