The Happy Ending of Franz Kafka‘s Castle is the enticing yet ominous dream of an entirely different way of living together: After you waited forever in front of the gate in a designed waiting loop between trumpeting angels, hellfires, fetish patrols and horse parades, you finally find your role as guests in courtly regalia. The King and Queen are already waiting, the protocol is strict and unfulfillable, the minuet tries to discipline you, but the room is free. Along with your everyday clothes, you will also shed your old life and find your way into a world where no one is out of place in Kafka's cathartic sauna, on the mystical massage bench, in the rehabilitation rodeo and at our richly laid table.
Kafka was looking forward to this ending so much that he never got around to writing it down. Perhaps it couldn't be written down at all, he suspected. That is why, at the end of his novel "Amerika", a mysterious touring theater troupe recruits members to bring the grand finale to the stage. Everyone is welcome. There is room for everyone. No one is rejected.

Idea, realisation: Showcase Beat Le Mot / Performance: Gunther Eckes, Arthur Klemt, Robert Niemann, Marie Seiser / Music: Albrecht Kunze / Constructions: Tobi Euler / Production Management: Olaf Nachtwey

The Happy Ending of Franz Kafkas Castle is a production by Showcase Beat Le Mot and  Residenztheater München.

„...Showcase Beat Le Mot are not ideological  softeners. Closer examination should actually alert the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as the strategic thrust of Showcase Beat Le Mot‘s attack is directed at the "compulsion to participate in capital hell" ....Showcase Beat Le Mot have now achieved cult status.“
