Letter to the Father
by Franz Kaffka
Letter to the Father
by Franz Kaffka
The confrontation with the father is a duel to the death. Open air
"Of all poets, Kafka is the greatest expert on power."
In a way, this sentence by Elias Canetti describes the glowing core of Franz Kafka's work, from which all other themes in his life can be derived. The confrontation with the father is a duel to the death, the son actually has no chance in this battle, he is too weak, too small, too flat-chested, but since he throws himself into this battle like David against Goliath, with all his cleverness, his perspicacity, his tenacity, with his grotesque humor - perhaps he does have something of a chance.
Anette Daugardt and Uwe Neumann play this exciting battle in their own version from different perspectives and in alternating roles.

"A clear recommendation from me: it is a successful production that presents this key text by Kafka in a very compact way, i.e. the text is also shortened so that the play lasts a good hour. It's well worth it.”

"Anette Daugardt and Uwe Neumann opened up the text with catchy images and musical punchlines. (...) The actors explained that they saw their project as a work about the relationship to authority figures in a time that is becoming more authoritarian again. It is to their credit that their play did not remain oppressive, but rather aroused compassion."
