The Penny Jive
OBERON Shows
Friday, August 16th and
Sunday, August 18th at 8:00pm
"Clouded by glamour, glory and glitter
is The Penny Jive, where the ElectroSwing plays on and on until you forget your
days at the bottom of the barrel and the bottom of the bottle. Where lust,
murder, marriage & betrayal are mere party favors of another droll evening
strolling the jack-knifes edge of life.
Find yourself swept up into the world
of Mac the Knife in an entirely new re-telling of a penny dreadful story older
than bath-tub distilleries. Imagine Brecht/Weill's "Threepenny Opera," and John
Gay's "The Beggar's Opera" had a kid with the adopted child of Django Reinhardt
and Daft Punk, and that kid owned a night club that played EDM and Swing Music
and buffered it all with cage dancers, burlesque & vaudeville... what you
have is this rollicking immersive ElectroSwing clubnight
theatrical!"
"The Penny Jive seeks to take the two
intrinsic and opposing textures of ElectroSwing and the music of Kurt Weill to
produce a show that melds the in-your-face fun of spinning DJ talents---curated
by Jive, an ElectroSwing monthly every first Friday in Boston--- with an
electro-noir nightclub immersive theatrical spectacular. Once passed through
OBERON's front doors, the audience is transported to The Penny Jive nightclub,
sipping poison with Jenny Diver and Polly Peachum, as well as being surrounded
by a rotating cast of scintillating circus, vaudeville variety and bodacious
burlesque guest performers."
