“Unfolding Kafka” is a cooperation between the Goethe-Institut Thailand, World Performances @ Drama Chula, the Japan Foundation and 18 Monkeys Dance theatre. It aims to provide a platform for outstanding artistic trends in the field of contemporary performance in Thailand. The persistent fascination with Kafka's style and  his mysterious character offers considerable scope for interpretation. In a natural and rational way, Kafka combines obscure and surreal scenarios with the real world; a motif which is used today in a variety of literary and cinematic formats.  However, we intend to challenge our Thai audience to explore other interpretations of Kafka’s works through visual art and choreography, in the form of solo performances and examples of art installation inspired by Der Bau (The Burrow), Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis) and Brief an den Vater (Letter to his Father).

 

The program, which has given birth to important cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaboration, will certainly provoke creative exchange between arts communities. Moreover, we would like to offer the local audience, students and artists an exclusive opportunity to participate in the workshops and discussions after the performances.
