Mozart in the jungle. Sex, drugs and Classical music. ¿ Descontextualizando la alta cultura?

Press and critics have considered that the merit of Mozart in the jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music, consists on bringing the classical music -conceived as “high culture” or superior culturecloser to the workingclass, understood as mass. We wonder if this light comedy, which has all the mainstream product characteristics, raises itself as a colonialist and classist perspective or allows any chinc in order to make any counterhegemonic thought or critic. In other words, we are going to verify if (as it attempted), the discourse of this series stands up for the artistic spirit as something popular, if it defends the art as something political against purely commercial interests or on the contrary it reforces the dichotomy between a high culture ( genuin “art by art”) and an inferior culture (banal consume product), based on identifying the first with elites and the second with the working-class.
