A century after his death, Franz Kafka’s literary legacy continues to influence contemporary creative works. This program will highlight three individuals—an artist, a writer, and a playwright—who have found inspiration in Kafka’s personal narrative and his writings: Joshua Cohen’s short story Return to the Museum (2024), Maria Kalman’s illustrations and stories from Still Life With Remorse (2024), and Josh Luxenberg’s theatrical adaptation of A Hunger Artist. Join the creators for a lively program featuring the back-stories of these works, as well as discussion and performance.
This program takes place in Gilder Lehrman Hall on the Ground Floor. Doors to the Hall will open 30 minutes before the concert begins. Seating is general admission. Franz Kafka will be open to visitors before the program.
