The re-imagining by Ibed S. Yuga and Kalanari Theatre Movement takes root  Kalanari Theatre Movement
in a dining table: food embodies the basic necessity where politics started; the  Franz Kafka: 100 years after
stage where the actor tells the story; the space where it aired personal his death
biographies of the protagonists – which came from two different ethnic
groups. It also served as a space where audience can participate in the
performance, mimicking as the academy members that represents the power
PARTNER
in the society.

Bridging both functional and aesthetic purposes, it will also be performed in

sign language – thus expressing matters related to customs: the act of
perception-comprehension between the humanized-civilized, respect and dis-
respect, themes that associated with Otherness, from discrimination to
interethnic conflict.
