BREAKING BRECHT – Sing’n’Song Cabaret is an epic-satirical musical production that explores the artistic battles and contradictions of the great poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht, using a contemporary language designed to entertain, provoke thought, and move audiences.

Veronica Pivetti, Manuela Mandracchia, and Lucia Vasini lead the audience on a journey through the twentieth century and its shadows, weaving together historical figures and cultural icons in a comic, revolutionary, and musical narrative.

Goebbels’ theories of mass manipulation are explained through direct audience participation; a bewildered Freud finds himself forced to compare the ego of the past with the self-awareness of the digital age; Hitler, delighting in that same ego, rewrites Petrolini’s brilliant Gastone in his own grotesque style; while Marx and Engels, suddenly transported into the present, are comically disoriented by modern technology.

And then there is Bertolt Brecht himself, in the flesh, dismantling, criticizing, and debating both his contemporaries and his predecessors. He quarrels with Wagner, imagines a new destiny for Carmen and even La Traviata, while the ominous shadows of secret services hover over everything, covertly animated by Artificial Intelligence.

The finale delicately addresses the mysteries surrounding Brecht’s death, offering a powerful and emotionally charged conclusion that pays tribute to the legacy of political theatre while reinterpreting it through a fresh and innovative lens.

The result is a cabaret that is both inspired and popular, capable of moving and engaging audiences while achieving the rarest of theatrical effects: wonder.

BREAKING BRECHT – Sing’n’Song Cabaret looks to the past in order to question the present, drawing on the power of Kurt Weill’s music, the energy of international pop, the passion of opera, and the explosive force of irony.
