The Happy End of Access Kafka!

A Sunday with Kafka and Kippenberger to Mark the Final Week of the Exhibition (in German)

„Das große Theater von Oklahoma ruft euch! Es ruft nur heute, nur einmal! Wer jetzt die Gelegenheit versäumt, versäumt sie für immer! Wer an seine Zukunft denkt, gehört zu uns! Jeder ist willkommen! Wer Künstler werden will, melde sich!“ (from: Franz Kafka, Der Verschollene)

The great theater of Oklahoma is calling you! We celebrate the last week of the Access Kafka exhibition – with the Leseguerilla and a lecture by Shelley Harten on Franz Kafka, Martin Kippenberger and The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s ‘Amerika’. And cream cake. Everyone is welcome!
