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