Kafka X Dung Kai-cheung X New Intrepretation
Behold, the youngest hunger artist is now in town! k is here to fast so as to lose weight, call for donations, practise yoga, appear on the catwalk and in cosplay, or stage a strike. She is even prepared to challenge the fasting limit of 100 days! Or does she simply fast for no reason?
Determined to be a hunger artist after an inner voice prompted her to do so, k has seen the media turn her work into hype and herself into the It Girl, both cheered and despised. In an era where art becomes entertainment and a consumer item, can a genuine artist survive?
Renowned Hong Kong writer Dung Kai-cheung localises Franz Kafka's A Hunger Artist and adds a contemporary outlook to the classic which is considered as one of the writer's most autobiographical works. A cast of professional and young performers promises to draw contemporary relevance to the modern satire in this tour de force of absurdity and dark humour.
