About Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogonny
Enter Mahagonny - a seductive desert boomtown where pleasure comes at a steep price. Built on greed and moral decay, this city promises everything and permits anything… for a fee.
A rarely staged, razor-sharp critique of consumerism and unchecked indulgence. Follow three fugitives as they create a city of sin where the only rule is: there are none. But in a place where everything’s for sale, survival is the ultimate gamble.
It’s worth the applause!
