  3. Mother Courage


"Mother courage" represents a metaphor for the society in which we live, onboard a unbridled race towards success, to market the property and towards deception worship and submission to the weakest. It's a theatrical text which takes as its reference the war; but not only is it pronounced against it but the attitude of the human being bet on a way of life where the gain, even at the expense of sacrificing the very existence and the things dearest prime. In the work is ask the Viewer for options that would take in a situation of extreme crisis, such as where you live. It is, therefore a tremendous today, more applicable to our time, that the days on which was written, just before the outbreak of the second world war. Bertolt Brecht here demonstrates extraordinary vision not only his time but of the future, which corresponds to our time.
