Kafka's tale "The Bau" is the record of a subterranean world in which happiness and paranoia are close siblings. It describes a kind of human animal, precisely a Kafkaesque, thinking animal. The creature lives in a mental crusade, in a permanent state of emergency, directed against the outside world, against possible intruders. The smallest noise is maximum stress for the creator. "The Burrow" is a parable about society, which permanently creates risks by trying to prevent them. As in all of Kafka's stories, the consequences of their actions and thoughts drive the creatures, animals, people, men relentlessly before them, mostly abandoned by any sense of reality. The production is a takeover of Theater Neumarkt Zürich.
