Inside the Skeleton of the Whale
Variations over Before the
Law by Franz Kafka
Kafka's short story Before the Law tells of a man from
the country who, out of subjection and obedience, does not dare to
pass through the Door of the Law.
Into this theme the performance weaves metaphysical and nihilistic
urges, subterranean plots and black apocryphal versions of the Holy
Books. Despair disguises itself as hope, and spiritual extremism
assumes an appearance of mocking scepticism. The public space of
the theatre turns into a paradoxical space of shared solitude.
The title refers to a verse of the Gospel according to Matthew:
Our evil and adulterous generation demands a sign. But no sign will
be given to us, except for the sign of Jonas.
