Program
The documentary-fictional Prague performance-cabaret Das Thema - To téma stages Kafka a hundred years after his death in its own unbiased way. In a maze of clichés and anniversary celebrations, it asks what is left of Kafka today. It explores the intersection between the writer's life and work and the commercialisation of both. This theme leads the audience to reflect on their own view of Kafka. So let's celebrate!
Kafka lived and wrote in bilingual Prague. The production is therefore bilingual. The premiere will take place on 16 March 2024 at the Theatre on the Balustrade.
