Now Playing: The Great Conjurer

The Great Conjurer:

This is a new play by Christine Simpson, loosely based on the life and art of Franz Kafka. The following description is from the press release: "Drawn loosely from Franz Kafka's art and life, The Great Conjurer depicts the struggle of 'K', a character forced to choose between a life that his parents wanted him to live-career, marriage, security-and the art that wanted to have life. Based in truth, The Great Conjurer tweaks the facts to suit the art of fiction, creating a universal story about beauty, love, and sacrifice in the pursuit of something great. The Great Conjurer is a multidisciplinary production incorporating live musicians playing a mix of music from klezmer to classical, as well as stylized movement, to help create the multiple levels of Kafka's real and imagined worlds."
