Programme Content

Inspired by Franz Kafka’s A Report to An Academy, the production follows the struggles and transformations of apes who attempt to become human in order to obtain the freedom they long for.

Drawing from Kafka’s text, Ivanhoe led the team and did a site-responsive performance at the Prison Yard of Tai Kwun (within the walls of a former Police Station, Court and Prison) in Hong Kong in early 2019.

The coming new edition will be set in an indoor theatre space where the team will take the audience on another experiential journey to the allegorical “Academy”. The work investigates how the oft-espoused values of liberty and equality really operate in our contemporary world, and how easily they can be compromised. We are going further to explore how institutional forces, for their own benefit, manipulate one’s sense of self and purpose. The new edition will be devised from the personal experiences and perspectives of a cross-cultural team of performers. An experiential theatre performance that integrates creative text, movement, music, rap, narrative and participatory spatial design.
