How, when and why do we stop looking at the Other as a person? In the very core of Franz Kafka's work, one can always sense the different forms of dehumanization under consideration. The story of Gregor Zamzas, who has turned into an insect, raises the question of what are the limits of our compassion for the Other: how the process of identification takes place, how the Other is constructed, whether we are able to accept the Other as a part of humanity. This performance will aim to examine the complex dialectical relationship between two different political (in the broadest sense) mechanisms: empathic identification on the one hand, and dehumanization on the other.
The field of meanings in Kafka's works is extremely wide and does not lend itself to simple, unambiguous interpretations. In order to open up their different levels, the most important thing in the play is to build a dialogue with the reality in which we live.
in 1914 July 28 the First World War began, and just a few days later F. Kafka began writing perhaps her most famous novel, The Trial (which remained unfinished and was published without the author's permission only after her death). And although these two events are not connected by mutual causality, the war experience is evident both in this and in other works of the writer. Scholars of Kafka's work say that in The Process he foresaw the totalitarian ideologies that would soon engulf Europe, and also foretold the nature of that war. February 24 When Russia started a war against Ukraine, it was said that this war would start the next stage of European history, and introduce a new world order. So it is possible that we too, in the 21st century. Ten of the 3rd. Europeans, like Kafka, who became a contemporary of the First World War, will live through a turning point, after which a new order will prevail in the world.
Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a prominent Austrian prose writer who wrote in German. He is considered one of the most distinctive and influential of the 20th century. writers, the pioneer of modernism, the surrealists are also named as one of the forerunners. He was born in a Jewish family, studied chemistry and German studies, later chose to study law, which especially pleased his domineering father, who considered his literary ambitions to be futile wanderings. He spent most of his life working for the Prague Workers' Insurance Company, immersing himself in the world of literature during his free time from bureaucratic work, which he hated. He constantly felt a contradiction between his social life and his creative vocation, and suffered a lot because of it. He was extremely strict with his work, a significant part of his works were published without his consent only after the writer's death.
Being hermetic and ambiguous, F. Kafka's prose provides opportunities for various interpretations, often the most controversial. His works reveal a strange, difficult to explain world full of threats and fear, the instability of that world, loneliness, fatigue, fear of the future.
Oliveris Frljićius (b. 1976) is one of the most prominent European theater creators, director, actor, author of texts, critics often call him "theatre provocateur". On stage, he usually raises complex and socially inconvenient questions, speaks sharply on social topics, and in his work usually responds to current problems and situations. More than one of his performances has caused a significant impact in society, such as the one in 2013, which became a bright and scandalous event in neighboring Poland. His play about anti-Semitism in Poland, or 2017, was canceled at the Old Theater in Krakow. The play "The Curse" was staged at the Powszechny Theater in Warsaw. The director is invited to create on various stages, and also resides at the Gorky Theater in Berlin. When buying 10 or more tickets, contact: vipplientai@bilietai.lt
