From a certain point on, there is
no going back.
That is the point to reach.
FRANZ KAFKA
Above a few pictures from the premiere and rehearsal, below a few examples of Kafka's drawings used in associations with Kurtág.
"Kafka and Kurtág, who (or what) do you need more to experience an exceptional concert? Darkness and essence everywhere. A dark stage, black-clad performers, enigmatic drawings projected on a screen, a violinist and a soprano performing Kafka-Fragmente."
Roger Creyf, klassiek centraal, 10.10.2022
