“Sunday 23 January 2022 at 9 pm, resumes the Theater Season of San Marino Teatro at the Teatro Nuovo di Dogana with PEACHUM – a three-penny opera, played by Rocco Papaleo ”.

The Cultural Institutes give the news, adding: “The show that also sees Fausto Paravidino, who is director and author, is dedicated to the anti-hero Peachum, the king of beggars in Bertolt Brecht’s threepenny Opera.

As in the work that gave Brecht success and changed the history of the theater, itself inspired by John Gay’s eighteenth-century “Beggar’s opera”, here too there is a lot of music, rock and punk, to accompany the recitative, which never becomes a song, as Paravidino explains: “I was scared of the Walt Disney effect or the director says or but we too, like Brecht already use musical theater as a Trojan horse for urgent themes .. And he adds that his character, Mikie Messer” He is no longer Brecht’s gentleman pirate, who dwelt in the realm of invention. We tried to bring it into the real world and we wondered who could be unpresentable “

Peachum is a figure of our time even more than of Brecht’s time – Paravidino argues – and he depends on money without even bothering to be passionate about it. He is not greedy. It does not aim to govern money, it is governed by money. In this new three-penny Opera called Peachum what happens in the work of John Gay, in A half-estate night’s dream, in Othello by Shakespeare and in many fairy tales. A father takes his daughter away. The father wants her back. Brecht tells us he wants it back because his property has been taken. Nothing else. The adventures and misadventures that the hero of the miserable will encounter in the effort to recover his daughter will be a journey, a world made of misery: the misery of the poor, the misery of those who want to get rich, the misery of those who are afraid of becoming poor.

Tickets will be on sale online on the site www.sanmarinoteatro.sm, or at the ticket office of New Theater from 5.00 pm on the day of the show until 9.00 pm.

It should be noted that it is now possible to purchase tickets for the shows of the month of January.

The seats will be alternated and the entrance to the theater is allowed only with entry with FFP2 mask ″.
