More about the event:
This is the second children's production of this year's Festival, continuing its investment in nurturing the next generation of theatre enthusiasts in Nicosia. The festival previously hosted productions such as "The Child and the Tree" (2019), "Still! A statue that travelled the world" (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), "The Lazy Dragon" (2022, 2023) and the Cypriot fairytale, "Once upon a time" (2024).
“Franz Kafka’s Doll” is brought to life by the award-winning team of Stavros Stavrou, Kostas Silvestros, and Thodoris Economou. The play is based on a magical – and for many, true – story that reminds us, “Whatever we love may be lost, but love will return in another form…”. The production promises to deliver a captivating experience filled with vivid imagery, live music, and humour.
Set in Berlin, in the autumn of 1923, the story begins in a park where a little girl weeps inconsolably over the loss of her doll. There, she encounters the famous author Franz Kafka, who reassures her that her doll is not lost, but has embarked on a grand journey to see the world. From that day on, the girl begins to receive letters from her doll – penned by Kafka – detailing her adventures across the globe.
