Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments are drifting, seemingly unconnected scraps of words, which sometimes create a whole world in milliseconds and other times elicit a feeling. Kurtág collected sentences and words from Franz Kafka’s diaries and letters and composed a cycle for soprano and violin. This arrangement in itself is evidence for the need to reduce everything to the bare minimum. Kafka’s writing, as well as this minimal ensemble leave room for hearing your breath, your thoughts. Under the direction of Malin Nagel dramaturgical and theatrical tools are used to approach this piece while respecting the dimension of Kafka’s language.
