Description:

What is Art? What is an Artist? What would you do for what you love the most? Franz Kafka gives us The Hunger Artist: a man who turns fasting into an art form, who nourishes his soul the only way he knows, by starving himself. In his small cage, he seeks acclaim for his craft and acceptance by the spectators. This is his life's purpose, he will stop at nothing in his pursuit of perfection. A dramatic and inspiring solo retelling of the final penning from Kafka. Actor: Jon Sidgwick (Berkoff's Oedipus).
