Kafka And Son Is Coming To Budapest On 18 May
- 18 May 2013 5:00 AM
At the age of 36 Franz Kafka was still living at home, a petty bureaucrat, a failed artist and timid Jewish son. Ruling and ruining his life was his overbearing father, Hermann. What to do? Kafka wrote, in this case a 50 page letter to his father in which he reveals deep connections between his life and his fiction. As he confesses in the letter “All my writing was about you.” Adapted from this monumental (and undelivered) letter, Kafka and Son is a blistering, often hilarious, dissection of domestic authority, and a revelatory visit with one of the architects of the modern psyche.
Kafka and Son has traveled with acclaim across Canada, to Edinburgh, and to the National Theatre of Iceland, where it ran parallel to the Theatre Vesturport production of Kafka's Metamorphosis. Alon Nashman brings Franz Kafka to life in this “captivating” (The Stage) performance of “sheer finesse” (The Herald), by one of Canada’s greatest actors. (NOW Magazine).
