“Mahagonny. Ein Songspiel / Afterparty” by Kurt Weill / Kasia Głowicka at the Studio Theater in Warsaw
Krystian Lada directs the diptych consisting of “Mahagonny. Ein Songspiel” by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht and “Afterparty” by Kasia Głowicka, with lyrics by Bartosz “Fisz” Waglewski. The staging brings together the songspiel from the 1930s with an opera written specifically for the occasion. The story is set in a fictional city and the contemporary Warsaw, shown here as travel destinations reached in order to achieve self-fulfillment and make dreams come true in a modern agglomeration.
Aside from the actors affiliated with the Studio Theater (Ewa Błaszczyk, Tomasz Nosinski, Natalia Rybicka, Marta Zięba), the show will feature performers associated with the musical scene (Dominik Bobryk, Filip Karaś) and the opera (Michał Dembiński, Albert Memeti). Liliana Krych is responsible for musical direction.
The show premieres December 8, 2024.
