“Sunneva Ása Weisshappel also put the characters in fabulous fellini-style and pop star-like costumes. Sometimes Mother Courage looks more like Mother Rabbit, but turns out to be a fighter in front of the Lord, in order to become the hyena of the battlefield externally than the text apostrophizes. “
