a hunger suite

“Nigh-on impeccable.” - Crikey

"Abstract, beguiling and hilarious." - Augusta Supple

Clockfire Theatre Company presents A Hunger Suite - a piece inspired by A Hunger Artist and other stories of Franz Kafka.

This work imagines the existence of two characters within the hermetically-sealed Circus universe created by Franz Kafka across his short works.
The prototype of A Hunger Suite originally featured in the Old 505 Theatre's FreshWorks 2012 season. This version was developed in Istanbul in March 2014, and performed there at the Sezincikat Theatre in April. 

A Hunger Suite continues Clockfire’s exploration of ensemble- based theatre in this exciting international collaboration
with Turkish artist, Mine Cerci.
