I, JOSEF at Rangbhoomi Spaces Hyderabad

I, JOSEF

An immersive multimedia experience based on Franz Kafka's The Trial comes to Hyderabad for the first time as part of Kafka@101 celebrations.

Tuesday 26th August to Sunday 31st August at Rangbhoomi Spaces, Hyderabad. Limited slots available, see schedule on BookMyShow LINK

I, JOSEF is an immersive ‘headphone theatre’ multimedia experience based on an adaptation of Franz Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ by Indian performing arts company Kaivalya Plays. It places the audience directly in the experience of Josef K, an ordinary bank clerk arrested and put on trial for a crime he doesn’t understand or know. 

Through vivid soundscapes—footsteps, whispers, eerie silences, city noises, and sudden shouts—the audience steps into K’s unsettling world. With 3D binaural sound and immersive projections, one experiences Kafka’s labyrinthine world from a first-person perspective, making them feel as if they are inside Josef K’s mind, grappling with the confusion and chaos of his unresolved fate. Audiences can also switch simultaneously between English and German languages. 

Presented by Kaivalya Plays in collaboration with Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad, Hyderabad Children’s Theatre Festival, Rangbhoomi and Saptaparni. I, JOSEF was commissioned by Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi as part of #100YearsKafka.
