The song is a bitter satire of the society and its political circus . It tells the story of Macheath, a notorious gangster, thief and murderer. He is an anti hero, living in hiding but waiting to shake up the establishment and its privileges. Ute Lemper explores multiple personalities as Macheath, victim and perpetrator, but always brings it back into a theatrical performance referring to the play on stage. She uses excerpts of her Paris show in the famous” Bouffes Du Nord” from 1990 intertwined with clips of a contemporary New York. Macheath, the hero of the underworld wonders through the streets of Manhattan, leaving his messages and fingerprints everywhere, but cannot be found….. Enjoy a timeline of Ute’s performances that spans over 35 year. Song produced by Ute Lemper and David Chesky Video producer and creative co-director: Ute Lemper Video editor and co-director: Cintia Chamecki ----------- Mack The Knife Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne und die trägt er im Gesicht Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jack knife has Mc Heath dear And he keeps it out of sight Und er hat Zähne mitten im Gesicht Jenny Towler turned up lately With a knife stuck through her breast And a man walks the embankment Nonchalantly unimpressed Jenny ward gefunden mit ‚nem Messer in der Brust Was war Dein Preis And the ghastly fire in Soho Seven children at a go In the crowed stands Mack the Knife but he Isn’t asked and he doesn’t know Er weiss von gar nichts, Macky, das große Feuer in Soho, sieben Kinder und ein Greiss And the child bride in her nighties Who’s assailant is still at large Violated in her slumbers Macky how much did you charge Die minderjährige Witwe, jeder kennt sie, Macky, was hast Du ihr angetan For there are those in the darkness And there are those in the night One can see those in the bright light But now those in the night Und man sieht die im Lichte, die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht ----------- #UteLemper #macktheknife #kurtweill #thethreepennyopera #kurtweillanniversary
