"A journey to Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht. To a time long gone. Stories of people. Crooks & prostitutes. Pirates & soldiers. They tell us their stories. They tell us about their lives. Their names are Polly, Mackie, Nana & Jenny. They dream themselves away. To faraway places. To the other side of the world. To Alabama, Mahagonny, Youkali & Surabaya. To Mandelay. And they all ask one question: What does man live on? And their answer is: From lust & shame & misdeed."
It is difficult to pigeonhole exactly what the three Brazilians and the one actress have done with Kurt Weill's music. But it is clear to see that they are artists at work here who are having a great time adding wum, bang & pau, ahhhh & mhmmm to the sophisticated lyrics and classical melodies. A feast for the ears and eyes!
