Interview with the creatives behind two shows inspired by Kafka's story 'A Report for an Academy' which explore race, migration, ageing and "humanimal" agency.
These award-winning shows translate Kafka's dark parable of un-belonging for the modern day: 'Kafka's Ape' by Tony Miyambo, and 'Words and Music' by Ed Gaughan and Wes Williams. Kafka's story has found its way into blistering explorations of race and migration, and grown-up reflections on ageing and "humanimal" agency, at the same time morphing Kafka's prose into drama and hilarious stand-up comedy. Kafka as you've never seen or heard him before. This podcast explores the origins and evolution of the shows with the creatives who made them.
Produced by the Faculty of Medieval & Modern Languages.
