Event information
After touring internationally for a decade to overwhelming praise and success, the multi-award-winning production, Kafka's Ape, returns home to South Africa, taking centre stage at the Baxter Studio.
This powerful one-hander, directed by Phala O Phala and performed by Tony Bonani Miyambo, is a powerful adaptation of Franz Kafka's short story, A Report to an Academy.
A primate named Red Peter, delivers a devastating report to the Academy, confronting the complexities of identity and the dangers of othering. Through a metaphorical lens, Kafka's Ape presents humanity held to an ape's mirror, sparking crucial reflections on society and our place within it.
Kafka's Ape is a testament to the power of South Africa's independent theatre-making, showcasing the country's vibrant creative talent on global stages, such as the Rwanda Genocide Memorial and the Royal Academy in London.
