Montreal's Infinithéâtre's KAFKA'S APE Begins Performances Today

Montreal's Infinithéâtre presents Kafka's Ape, adapted and directed by Guy Sprung, as part of SummerWorks, beginning today, August 7, and continuing through August 17 at The Ballroom at the Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street West.

"Howard Rosenstein knocks it out of the park in the title role. Bravo!" - Pat Donnelly of Montreal Gazette
Based on Franz Kafka's short story A Report to an Academy (1917), and adapted by director Guy Sprung from the original German, Kafka's Ape upends the notion of civilization and what it means to be human in a world of routinized inhumanity.

An unnerving satire on "otherness" and the compounding growth of private military companies, Kafka's Ape stars Howard Rosenstein as keynote speaker - and primate - Mr. Redpeter in a theatrical tour-de-force performance.
