Title: «I sette peccati capitali» di Bertold Brecht e Kurt Weill
Nationality: Netherlands
Topic: social pressure
Description: “The Seven Deadly Sins of the Petit-Bourgeois” is defined by Weill as a ‘ballet with song’, and is in fact based on the dialogue between the two expressive media to ironically symbolise the eternal war between reason and passion, temptation and self-discipline, which drives (and justifies) the petit-bourgeois morality pilloried by Brecht in the text.
