"October 2. Sleepless night. It's the third in a row. I fall asleep quickly, but wake up an hour later as if I stuck my head in a hole that doesn't exist. Since then, I seem to sleep all night until five, but at the same time vivid dreams do not allow me to fall asleep. I formally seem to be sleeping next to myself, and at the same time I have to wrestle with my dreams." (Diaries. 1910-1923, Franz Kafka)

KAFKA INSOMNIA, a live music visual performance for teenagers and adults, tells the dreamily realistic story of Czech writer Franco Kafka's one sleepless night. Is daydreaming a creative method, a way of life, a consequence of illness or the main condition of Kafka's genius in the literary world? A dream created by insomnia and breaking into tangible reality makes F. Kafka's work conditional, full of unexpected images, extended sense of time, premature absurdity, manifestations of existentialism or even surrealism, which go hand in hand with the consistent descriptions characteristic of the school of realism.

"KAFKA INSOMNIA" is a performance of images, sounds and media, created according to the "Cosmic Manifesto" published on the theater website in March 2020. With the help of dramatic performances, live electro-acoustic music, video projections, modern object theater and sound manipulations, the creators of "Kosmos Theater" will delve into the paranoid and enchanting atmosphere of the works of the legendary Czech author, the main ups and downs of the writer's life, insomnia symptoms, visual and sound hallucinations, and together they will search for the never-ending and the limits of a never-ending Kafkaesque world.
