PHOTOS: Open Fist/Circle X's Co-production of Kafka’s AMERIKA OR, THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED

Check out production photos from Dietrich Smith’s acclaimed adaptation of Franz Kafka’s first novel, Amerika or, The Man Who Disappeared, which returns to the Atwater Village Theatre stage this weekend in a co-production between Open Fist and Circle X Theatre Companies.

Smith is once again at the helm of Kafka’s surreal, darkly comic coming-of-age odyssey. Oqalile Tshetshe steps into the role of 17-year-old Karl Rossmann, who finds himself banished from Germany in disgrace following a family scandal. Arriving in New York City on a steamer, he experiences a series of increasingly strange and bewildering misadventures that turn his world upside down.

Returning cast members include Tambrie Allsup, Matthew Goodrich, Jade Santana, Jack Sharpe, Grace Soens and Jeremy D. Thompson, who recreate the roles they originated in the fall production. Newly joining the ensemble are Emma Bruno, Maria Mastroyannis, Elliott Moore, Julien Thompson and Pat Towne.
