In 2002, Lech Majewski returns to the Heilbronn Theater to stage Bertold Brecht’s Threepenny Opera. A huge crate on a horse-drawn cart enters the empty stage. The coachman – the master of the ceremony – releases the horse from the harness and gradually opens the individual lapels in the trolley, thus creating the scenery for the next eight scenes. The last one is a prison cage.
