«Peachum is a figure of our time even more so than of Brecht’s time» explains Fausto Paravidino. “He depends on money without even bothering to be passionate about it. He is not greedy. He does not aspire to govern money, he is governed by money. ”
“In this new threepenny Opera called Peachum,” Paravidino always writes, “what happens in John Gay’s Opera in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and in Shakespeare’s Othello and in many fairy tales. A father takes his daughter away. The father wants her back. Brecht tells us he wants her back because she is his property and thus she has been taken away. Nothing else. The adventures and misadventures that the hero 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 ” . Rocco Papaleo and Fausto Paravidino, in their first theatrical collaboration, interpret this new upside down version of an epic tale.
