A visionary show in which the songs by Brecht and the music of Paul Dessau are transformed into a passionate sequence of tracks. Their style is eclectic – from classical contemporary sound to electronic music – and aims at keeping that same explosive charge that music had during the expressionist period. A Brechtian play that considers a topic of great relevance in current times such as life and death during war, yet nonetheless featuring solid and strong musical compositions.
