🎤 About: Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a Prague-born writer who wrote in German and is one of the most significant authors of 20th-century European literature. His novellas and novels — including The Metamorphosis, The Trial, and The Castle — are marked by themes of absurdity and existential anxiety. His work gave rise to the adjective "Kafkaesque".

🎬 About: Die Verwandlung

Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis) is a famous novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. The work is one of the most significant texts in world literature and a defining symbol of modern alienation.

📍 About the venue: Burgtheater

Founded in 1741 under Empress Maria Theresa, it moved to its current neo-baroque building on the Ringstraße in 1888. The house stages a broad repertoire of classical and contemporary drama and is home to one of the largest acting ensembles in Europe.
