Kafkin « Castle » on the scene of the Czech House in Belgrade: walk through the show and an unfinished novel Czech Giana – Culture

The writer deals with the topics of cruel and absurd bureaucracy and, inherent, inability to manner, even when he is just looking for his rights.

« Castle » was the subject adaptation in various formats, including the theater, and I had the opportunity to look at one unusual In Belgrade.

In a very cute space Czech home In Svetozara Markovic Street, an adaptation of an international team of artists, which brings something really unique in the motifs « trap ».

First of all, it should be noted that due to the spatial restriction and the interactive character, this play can look at most up to 30 spectators.

Also, spectators are not only viewers here, but in some situations and participants, although they do not affect the development of the store.

Without too much detail, I will only say that everything is designed to implement you through several premises of the Czech home, so you also get a show and interactive tour.

Due to all this, and the fact that the text of the novel is simplified, it is lost on the monotes of the repetition of individual sequences, and is obtained on the dynamic and literal change of the environment.

I can find out that everything starts in some kind of pub, ie the pub and that the audience immediately has a choice between beer and water, although nothing is compulsory, such as some discovered at the performance I was.

The basis of the action is the same as in the novel, there is K. which comes to the village as a landinger and aims to enter the title castle, but the peripens are increasing and the absurdities there is no end.

Along the way, he meets numerous characters that repeat the learned phrases and find new ways to distract him from the goal, either from personal or simply because they are so told.

In the play, it also happens, but it is all relieved of humor and this, often physical, comic side of the piece contributes to not going out with a general impression of despair as after the completion of the book reading.

Those who do not like to modernize classic pieces and changing the novel Action for cheap remarks have nothing to fear, because that comic moment absolutely goes with the heart of the « castle ».

No matter how close the actors are in some moments, where it even comes to physical interaction and seeking help from viewers, the show continues and the main characters do not come out of the given texts.

There are also two characters who have a guide role and which are directly addressed to the audience and are implemented through the Czech home, and desire to hug them after the first genius appear.

From seven actors, only two interprets the one character all the time, while the others are changing in several roles and everyone is convincing in each of them.

All these changes should be sent in the moment and not succumb to the pressure that are spectators right next to you, and all the actors are not only able to succeed, but showed how the theater can be interesting to everyone.

So inquire when you will be the next performance of the play « Castle » and consider who you will take.

After all, where did someone offer you beer before he started playing?
