Zamek w stanie otępienia
The Castle of mental stupor

Summary/Abstract: A review of the production of The Castle directed by Marek Fiedor (Teatr Współczesny, Wrocław, 22.06.2013). Although the production has a number of interesting and creative ideas, for instance setting Kafka’s novel in a small American town, clear references to the tradition of road movies and highlighting K’s relations with women, they do not produce particularly interesting results. Contrary to what the director promised in pre-production interviews his stage vision of Kafka’s world is full of stereotypical platitudes and has no power to move the viewer in any deeper way.
