The aim of the festival is to provide a platform for outstanding artistic trends in the field of contemporary performance in Thailand. The persistent fascination for Kafka’s style and for his mysterious character reveals and provides us with room for interpretation. In a natural and rational way, Kafka combines obscure and surreal scenarios with the real world, a motif which today is used in a variety of literary and cinematic formats. But, we intend to challenge our Thai audience by avoiding focusing solely on the text of Franz Kafka, and instead, by extending the interpretation of his work through visual art and choreography, which is what the festival revolves around.
