Program
Franz Kafka is alive! I mean, no, he's dead – and he's inviting you to a family dinner. Aren't traditional family gatherings a nightmare for you? Then you haven't experienced this one yet.
An original production about Kafkaesque themes that never die. Family. Repression. Gossip and rumors. Patriarchy. The inability to love oneself. Excerpts.
How are social hierarchy, the institution of the family and tyrannical fathers connected? And Mr. Kafka, can boys cry? At least the ones who make art... when they can't even pay their rent.
Dinner will be served during the performance. Bon appétit!
