A creature loses itself in the labyrinth of its own protective structure against the outside world. Kafka's parable as a suggestive evening of theater.
"The Burrow" is one of the last enigmatic parables Franz Kafka left behind. Written in 1923/24, it is about the futile struggle of an unnamed being to perfect its huge earth structure to protect itself from enemies. Sealing himself off from the outside world, the creature increasingly loses himself in the labyrinthine structure he has created and in his growing paranoia. One hundred years later, this piece of prose by Kafka seems like a description of today's mentalities. And at the same time: an incredibly theatrical process. Kafka's story remained unfinished.
The young director Zafer Tursun has already transformed several Kafka texts into intense, touching evenings of theater that are not short on humor.
