Electronica duo Röyksopp make their
stage debut with absurd Kafka comedy.
Did you know that Franz Kafka and his friends
split their sides laughing when he read aloud
from The Trial? Norwegian actors Thorbjørn
Harr and Jan Gunnar Røise have immersed
themselves in Kafka's humorous sides, and
present a new performance together with
international electronica stars Röyksopp.
A selection of Kafka's texts has been adapted
for the performance, which explores numerous characters and stories from his career as
a writer. The texts and a score of original songs
lead us into
