Kafka and the travelling doll
direction Fabrizio Pallara
a play for adults and children over 7 years old
adaptation and dramaturgy Valerio Malorni and Fabrizio Pallara
design and construction of the doll Ilaria Comisso
An afternoon, a park, Berlin. 1923. Franz Kafka, a shy writer who has not yet been touched by fame, meets a girl who is distraught because she has lost her doll.
This unexpected encounter became the starting point for the great writer's last work, an inspiration.
Twenty-one days and many letters to imagine another truth: the doll had not been lost, it had set off on a long journey around the world. This is how Kafka invented "the doll postman".
There is no trace of the girl, nor the letters, but with his novel "Kafka y la muñeca viajera" the Catalan author Jordi Sierra i Fabra has tried to reconstruct what might have happened, filling in the holes of that strange and mysterious affair, and treating readers to a tiny, precious and intense book. It is a story for adults that speaks of nostalgia, anxieties, and life running away. But it is also a story for children that talks of amazement, of eyes open to the world, and rich and tumultuous life flooding in. It is a story of separations and abandonment, of how we learn to live within change, and how much we can receive from encounters, even the most unexpected ones.
With a minimalist set and the use of video projections to animate and describe the places, the fantasies and the extraordinary journey of the doll, a deep dialogue develops between the two protagonists, bringing meaning and order to reality, and turning the drama of loss into an opportunity for growth.
A meeting of humanity, of different conditions, and of times of life, but all part of an experience that belongs to everyone: growing, changing and letting go.
Running time: 60 minutes
