MAHAGONNY (by BERTOLT BRECHT) |

| This show recreates the environment of a lost city, an utopia of years of searching for gold and dreams. | |||||||||
| "Mahagonny" the city where Brecht's play takes place, is a simbolic caricature of freedom: a legendary place where everyone can live as they wish, an utopia of pleasure, whose boundaries are established by the law of search and offer. | |||||||||
| Besides the string puppets, the traditional scenography is in this play substituted by digital images, creating as in the opera by Brecht and Weill, an excess of senses and a spacial amplitude radically innovative in the puppet theatre. | |||||||||

"(...)
This group has been developing a real love work to their puppets. The
Tarumba produced with puppets, a notabilly opera by Brecht/Kurt Weil.
In the litle format of this show, is present all the brecthinian irony
and espirit. A very good work". Manuel João Gomes (Newspaper
Público, 4/12/98). |
