REPORT TO AN ACADEMY

Franz Kafka’s
«REPORT TO AN ACADEMY»
by Gabriele Jakobi

KAFKA’S classic short story “REPORT TO AN ACADEMY”, adapted by the acclaimed German theatre director Gabriele Jakobi. This international theatrical performance stars dynamic actor-director Robert McNamara and will be making its way from Washington, DC, for a limited engagement of just four performances on September 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th.

This provocative drama serves as a reversal of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis,” exploring the transformation of an animal into a man. It breathes life into Kafka’s dark parable, compelling audiences to reflect on critical issues surrounding free will, animal rights, and the ethics of vegetarianism.
The play centers on an intelligent ape named “Red Peter”, who was captured in a West Africa hunting expedition and sent to Europe on a ship. To effect his survival, Peter learns to mimic and imitate the ship’s crew from his cage.
By evolving to behave like a human, he devises an escape. Ultimately, he presents his fascinating tale of transformation and the horrid details of his former ape life to a scientific Academy.

Following its debut to sold-out audiences at the 2014 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC, «Report to an Academy» has garnered acclaim at the Prague Fringe Festival and at the English Theatre Berlin, making its upcoming run in Athens a must-see theatrical event.
