openface（一部尖锐讽刺的音乐剧）

近日，英国国家剧院现场（NTLive）的一系列音乐剧在国内展映，其中一部<三分钱歌剧>（ThreePenny Opera）以独特的黑暗荒诞手法，以贫民窟的边缘人为主线，融合了性，易装癖等尖锐话题，营造了一个恶人天堂，穷人地狱的颠倒世界。因为太冷酷太扎心了，在1933年的德国遭禁演，主创被驱逐出境。

回顾下那些“世界乱糟糟，人生如战场”的冷酷瞬间，丝毫不阳春白雪的乞丐狂奔气质的台词：

You’ve got to fake it to seem real.

假装到极致，才能接近真实。

See the sharks with teeth like razers.All can read his openface.And Macheath has got a knife,but not in such an obvious place.

鲨鱼利齿像刀锋，人人可见；麦瑟有尖刀，杀人于无形。

The world is poor,and man’s a shit.

世界是贫穷的，人类是邪恶的。

One must live well to know what living is.

必须了解生存的窍门，你才能生活得不赖。

Food is the first thing,morals follow on.

生存最重要，道德排其后。

看这部“粗鲁到毫不遮掩，真实到令人忐忑”的剧，如何不被带跑偏？

仅一点：凡是剧中歌颂的，都是需要摒弃的。
