FlopHAUS Cabaret, Ballads of A Dark Horse is a provocative cabaret style social satire performed by Moving Poets at McColl Center.
About this Event

FlopHAUS Cabaret, Ballads of A Dark Horse is a provocative cabaret style social satire inspired by the legendary work of Kurt Weill, Lotte Lenya and Bertolt Brecht. Defiantly sharp as Mack the Knife's blade, this raw dark comedy includes original and contemporary adaptations of Weill's works such as 'How to Survive’, 'Alabama Moon', and ‘Pirate Jenny’. In the tradition of the witty yet politically dissonant 'ThreePenny Opera', FlopHAUS Cabaret cunningly exposes hypocrisy, corruption and moral ambiguity of society, with a wink and nod “Happy End”. Expressed through theater, dance, jazz and opera, this multi-media music production is performed by over 35 national, regional and Charlotte-based actors, dancers, musicians, and singers.

For the production McColl Center will be turned into a two-stage cabaret theater/club, traveling through time from 1925 until today, making use of the unique visuals and atmosphere the building has to offer.

Presented by Moving Poets in collaboration with the McColl Center.
