APPARAT

Franz Kafka's story In the Penal Colony is the grotesque parable of a world characterized by torture and violence. In the stage version of the text by Prague's Studio Hrdinů, one of the Czech Republic's best-known theaters, the torture apparatus becomes an archaeological site of gazes, an echo chamber, in order to illuminate Kafka's themes - the cruelty of the bureaucratic world, the shamefully entangled individual, the premonition of totalitarianism - from multiple perspectives: Where does the curiosity of wanting to look at the suffering of others drive us? What responsibility arises from this witnessing?


Music theater based on Franz Kafka for everyone aged 14 and over
