LA ÓPERA DE LOS TRES CENTAVOS
Coque Malla takes a bold new step in his career by starring in one of the major works by the iconic duo Weill and Brecht.
*The Threepenny Opera* is a play in a prologue and three acts, with music by Kurt Weill and a German libretto by Bertolt Brecht. In this work, Brecht sets out to denounce prostitution, poverty, and abuse of power during a time of deep economic crisis: the play premiered in Berlin in 1928, during the turbulent final years of the 1920s. Brecht’s text is a fierce critique of capitalism. To do so, he brings to the stage an updated version of John Gay’s English musical parody *The Beggar’s Opera*, and exposes the harshest version of an economic system that Brecht sees as a vast machine of organized crime.
Now, with the renowned Coque Malla in the leading role, Barco Pirata, Unahoramenos Producciones, and Teatro Pérez Galdós bring this work into the present, under the direction of Mario Vega (Unahoramenos Producciones).
