Pirate Jenny

“And the ship, the black freighter, disappears out to sea—and on it is me.”

We were commissioned by Death of Classical to create a Kurt Weill-inspired shadow play for Carnegie Hall’s Weimar Festival. We adapted Weill and Brecht’s "Pirate Jenny” from Threepenny Opera, reimagining Jenny as a Rosa Luxemburg-esque revolutionary exacting revenge on the streets of Weimar-era Berlin.
