ABOUT

KAPITALEN
by Karl Marx and others

April 17 – May 4, 2004

In a time marked by cultural debate, holy wars and everyday ideological mud casting, can’t one wonder what our society’s values are actually built upon?
Mammutteatret has produced a performance to explore this serious question with its foundation in one of the most important books in modern history, Karl Marx’s Das Kapital.
Three actresses give the grand theories physical form. Practical examples are visualized. Dance will often become necessary as the plot-bearing element.
However, the performance is devoid of song because, in our opinion, far too many songs have already been written with Das Kapital as inspiration, for example “Eat the Rich”, and “If I were a Rich Man”.

Direction: Christoffer Berdal
Scenery: Edward Lloyd Pierce
Kapitalen is adapted for the theater by Claus Flygare, Christoffer Berdal, Oliver Zahle, and others.
Cast: Tina Gylling Mortensen, Lene Tiemroth, and one more.
