VISUAL FRANZ KAFKA – REPORT TO AN ACADEMY
Kafka’s works are filled with themes of alienation, and his characters often venture on a terrifying quest. Acclaimed German theatre director Gabriele Jakobi has adapted Franz Kafka´s short story “Report to an Academy” of 1917, into a powerful, provocative one-man drama featuring actor / director Robert McNamara.
The play centers on an intelligent ape named “Red Peter” who was captured in West Africa and sent to Europe on a ship. To survive, Peter learns to mimic and imitate human behavior from his cage. Ultimately, Peter presents his tale of transformation and the horrid details of his former ape life to a scientific Academy.
Mc Namara´s performance brings a wild parable to life and compels patrons to ponder the issues of free will, animal rights and vegetarianism.
