The dance formation Kafka tanzt consists of the dancer and choreographer Žiga Jereb and the reciter Charlotte Aigner. The art project dares to experiment: What happens to our bodies when we fully engage with Kafka's language and text? How do his texts speak out of us, and how do they move us? Inspired by Kafka's appreciation for reciting his texts, we want to bring his language closer to people in a unique, tangible way through free speech and, thus, communicative movement. In this way, a new approach to literature may open up for the individual through the universal and essentially archaic form of expression of dance. The language becomes a sensual experience of body, movement, and sound through improvised encounters with the text. The focus is not on interpreting the texts; we try to find answers to what speaks to us directly.
