He is one of the founders of Moment:teater in Gubbängen in Stockholm and has directed at most of Sweden’s institutional theatres. Pontus Stenshäll is an actor, a director and the artistic leader of Göteborgs Stadsteater (Gothenburg City Theatre). In the novel we follow his labyrinthine trail through an absurd legal system. It was first published after his death, in 1925, and it’s about Joseph K who wakes up one morning and is arrested with no explanation of what he is accused of. Lasse Beischer portrays Joseph K.įranz Kafka (1883-1924) wrote Processen ( The Trial) around 1914-15. It will be funny, claustrophobic and absurd when the discussion concerning society’s power over the individual is taken to the utmost point. Instead of working at a bank, Joseph K is now a theatre director – and when the guards rush in, breaking into a rehearsal, the story becomes just as nightmarish as the novel. When does the improbable become likely, when is the unreasonable sensible? Pontus Stenshäll grapples with Franz Kafka’s world famous novel Processen ( The Trial), lifting the story onstage.
