In this brief homage to the poetic world of Kafka, the fragmented and unperformable writing of the Diaries and the Letter to Felice becomes thought and body, transformed into gestural image. The title L'Altro Processo comes from the homonymous essay by Elias Canetti which was Corsetti's key to the construction of Il Processo which is also in the festival. A unique opportunity to see Corsetti the actor.
"It is an extremely beautiful image,
tied to a dream Kafka had when he was writing America and that was later linked to the
beginning of the book itself: when Karl arrives at the port of New York, he has the
impression that there are corpses floating in the sea. They surface and are then covered
by the waves. Kafka's characters are like that, they surface and then disappear into the
vast sea of the unconscious."
Giorgio Barberio Corsetti
