The Trial

Where does freedom begin? Franz Kafka wrote "The Trial" in an era of upheaval, expanding bureaucracy and profound disorientation - a time that bears an unsettling resemblance to our own. The story of Josef K., dragged before an impenetrable court without explanation, has lost none of its radical relevance.

In Anja Dechant-Sundby's adaptation, Kafka's work is distilled to its core: the struggle of the individual against a system that is at once all-powerful and impossible to grasp. The result is a tightly focused theatre evening that doesn't merely retell Kafka, but holds him up as a mirror to a world in which the question of justice feels more urgent than ever.
