Slovák and Burian Jr.
Live reading from Franz Kafka's diaries and short stories accompanied by contemporary electronic music. Just close your eyes and listen to the words and the music emerging from them. The performance is based on a dialogue between text, music and sounds… Hopefully it will give you a new perspective on Kafka and his work, one that brings you closer to him. With obsession and sensitive passion Jan Slovák reads and Jan Burian Jr. improvises. And by the way – when was the last time someone read to you?
