An evening between circus tent, Kafka mythos, and poetic disturbing magic

Circus Kafka brings a stage experience to the stage on October 16, 2026, at fabrik Potsdam, combining absurdism, quiet melancholy, and theatrical transformation into a dense cultural evening. The theater collective Taràntula tells of a traveling stage, where a singing mouse, a monkey in search of humanity, and an audience caught up in an increasingly strange logic of presentation come together. The official description promises a world of its own rules, where reality and performance imperceptibly tip into each other.

Kafkaesque images that penetrate the skin

The material relies on what makes Franz Kafka so irresistible to this day: transformation, adaptation, routine, and the diffuse discomfort when the absurd suddenly appears mundane. From this foundation, Taràntula shapes a production that combines grotesque humor with poetic imagery. Thus, a theater atmosphere emerges where the clear interpretation does not matter, but the wonder at a system that is both funny, irritating, and attractive.

Between the ring and the audience

Particularly appealing is the dissolution of the boundary between stage and audience. According to the event description, the audience gradually becomes part of a mechanism that feels like a circus building with its own laws. This is precisely the strength of this format: it uses the form of theater to transform the feeling of permanent insecurity into a sensual, immediate stage experience. For Kafka lovers as well as for friends of imaginative contemporary theater, this evening promises an intense approach to the absurd.
