War is a continuation of business by other means, only that in war, big profits are not made by little people. War makes the human virtues fatal even to their possessors.”

Bertolt Brecht

The Arriaga Theatre renews its commitment to its own productions and local talent, this time with a project based on  Bertolt Brecht’s classic Mother Courage and Her Children. The Basque director María Goiricelaya, one of the most promising and vigorous youths in the local theatre scene, has adapted the play for this new production which she herself directs, with performances in Basque and Spanish .

Was is business. It has always been. Anna Fierling knows this. So she wanders with her two boys and her girl across the barbarian world around her. Serving both parties and yet neither of them, they are the protagonists of an epic tale whose main theme is the cruelty of human survival. Materialism prevails over tragedy; war makes us insensitive and we seem to be unable to learn our lessons, always making the same mistakes.

In today’s world, we are fed our daily dose of brutality by the media, and we are immune to it. This Mother Courage is far from Sweden, Germany or Poland. She is set in a timeless theatre of war that needs no definition: its references are sadly updated every day.

About the play and Bertolt Brecht

To mark the performances of the play, on the 25, 26, 27 and 28 March, half an hour before the performances staged in Basque, there will be talk on Mother Courage and the playwright Bertolt Brecht, given by Xabier Monasterio,  from Zenbat Gara Elkartea. It will be in the foyer of the Arriaga Theatre and will last approximately 20 minutes, a little taster for what you will see later on stage.
