Kafka has left the building / Official title: Kafka 24/7

A documentary-fictional performance cabaret

„Kafka has left the building“ – he's gone and his Prague no longer exists either.

The Prague performance cabaret Das Thema – To téma stages Kafka one hundred years after his death in an unbiased and unconventional way.

In the labyrinth of all the anniversary celebrations and clichés, we ask ourselves what is left of him today. We examine the overlaps between his life and work, its commercialization and the mysterious world of Kafka.

Das Thema – To téma thus leads the audience to reflect on their own „Kafka view“. Let's celebrate!

Kafka lived and wrote in a bilingual Prague. That's why this play is bilingual throughout.
