Synopsis "Franz Kafka - Apparatus: A Play based on 'In the Penal Colony' by Franz Kafka"

You are cordially invited to attend a most unusual, mechanically achieved execution - death by means of a complex machine designed and constructed in a nightmare. The Traveller is only on the island for a few days, he's no fan of the brutal penal colony there, but he hopes to leave with plenty to write about. Today he's scheduled to watch a man die, but nothing has prepared him for an hour in the company of The Officer, the keeper and guardian of the hellish Apparatus. A play based on Kafka's prophetically terrifying yet darkly humorous 'In the Penal Colony' - a dramatic labyrinth of cruelty, obsession and madness.

(Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor bohemo en lengua alemana. Su obra, de las más influyentes de la literatura universal, es una de las pioneras en la fusión de elementos realistas con fantásticos y tiene como principales temas los conflictos paternofiliales, la ansiedad, el existencialismo, la brutalidad física y psicológica, la culpa, la filosofía del absurdo, la burocracia y las transformaciones espirituales. Escribió novelas insignes y gran número de relatos cortos, además dejó una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiográficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comúnmente asociado con la filosofía artística del existencialismo y el expresionismo. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura. El término kafkiano se usa en español para describir situaciones insólitas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas.
