The Castle (with English surtitles)
Director: Viktor Bodó
construction in one part
On a dark, snowy winter night, K, the surveyor, arrives in the village overlooked by the castle of Count Westwest. K has been ordered there to do surveying work, but no matter how hard he tries to get up to the castle, he fails to make contact with his employers, only with the locals, who are suspicious. Maybe the castle doesn't exist, and maybe K isn't a surveyor either, although the next day two assistants apply to him... Viktor Bodó stages Kafka's novel with his usual absurdist imagination and grotesque humor.
The script for the Comedy Theatre production was written with the help of the Adaptation Office staff, namely Viktor Bodó, Júlia Róbert, Anna Veress, Sibylle Meier and Krisztina Kovács.
