Somewhere between comic strip and James Ensor’s paintings, the duo of directors Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser have the time of their lives making Mahagonny a show that is both entertaining and gently and darkly humorous. Their vision of the work scrupulously respects the transgressive nature of this attack on the absolute power of money in a society where ?the biggest crime you can commit is not to have any.?
