Mahagonny: from consumer paradise to hell on earth [trailer with Ivo van Hove | Dutch National Opera

A place where anything goes – as long as you pay. That is the new city of Mahagonny, founded by three criminals on the run. Together, they fleece its new citizens by making them pay through the nose for a real consumer paradise. But this world of cravings, sex and alcohol soon turns into a veritable hell.
