Akademi İçin Bir Rapor

“F. Kafka’s story A Report to an Academy is a report on the past life of a former ape who has become human. The story (or report) is written in the ape-man’s voice, addressed to the members of the academy at their invitation. As Boş Sahne, we had conceived the play as an actor’s attempt to understand the story. The first performances were played this way. We had problems repeating this interpretation; that is, every time the play was repeated it began to lose something. So we decided that the actor would play ‘an actor whose super-objective is to understand the story’ — just as one plays ‘a Hamlet whose super-objective is …’. This interpretation led to other problems. Where we stand now, the play consists of the actor’s oscillation between the storyteller and the character in the story. We continue to build the play together with the audience.”
