On Saturday, May 10th, at 19.00:XNUMX PM, Neapolitan audiences are invited to a theatrical event that promises to shake the foundations of normality: "Strangers in the Night," presented by C&C Company on the stage of the Teatro Area Nord.
This cross-disciplinary show, inspired by Kafka's famous "The Metamorphosis," dives into a world where reality and fiction collide in a brutal and entertaining way, co-created and performed by Jos Baker, Linus Jansner, and Carlo Massari.

A Descent into the Abyss of Fiction and Madness
The show mercilessly and mockingly explores the fine line between honesty and the role to be played, between concrete "action" and pantomime—that action that, in a single stroke, unmasks our miserable daily pretenses. Dreamy yet subtly political, it blends social realism and tragicomedy to counteract pietism and pathos, drawing the audience into an escalation of madness and violence that breaks the fourth wall. It's a poetics that uses the language of defeat to evoke hope, decadence, and a possible rebirth, in a blend of reflections on the present that leave no one indifferent.
Opportunities for dancers and audiences
To mark its debut, choreographer Carlo Massari is organizing a workshop for dancers, actors, and performers on May 8th and 9th at Körper | Centro Nazionale di Produzione Danza, Via Vannella Gaetani 27, in collaboration with Interno5 and Teatro Area Nord. The price includes a ticket to the performance, offering an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in this creative madness. Teatro Area Nord is accessible via the Polibus shuttle service operated by the City of Naples, making the event even more accessible to everyone. Teatro Area Nord's activities are supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Campania Region, and the City of Naples.

The event seems interesting but I don't know if I'll be able to go. The description suggests something different from the usual, but I don't really understand how it connects to Kafka. Let's hope it's a positive experience for everyone.
