Franz Kafka’s ‘The Hunger Artist’

Greenwich Theatre

Synopsis

What is Art? And what does it mean to be an Artist? Franz Kafka’s ‘Hunger Artist’ nourishes his soul the only way he knows how, by starving himself, in his small, barred cage, before crowds of spectators, some admiring, some sneering and contemptuous. Seeking acclaim for his craft and acceptance, validation, spiritual meaning and perhaps love from his audience, this is his ‘art’ and, though often torturous for him, he will stop at nothing in his pursuit of perfection. In this, Franz Kafka’s final work, he died on 3rd June 1924, we celebrate his life and work with this Solo retelling of this dramatic short story. Kafka was editing "A Hunger Artist" on his deathbed, a story whose composition he had begun before his own throat closed to the point that he himself could not take any more nourishment.
