America
Experience Kafka's fascinating emigration story and anti- Bildungsroman about social decline and the search for happiness in the New World.
Franz Kafka's "America" will premiere on March 20, 2026, at the Salzburg State Theatre. The novel tells the story of Karl Rossmann, a 16-year-old who is sent to America by his parents to seek his fortune. Instead of a successful career, Karl experiences a series of desperate situations, shaped by his gullibility and the harshness of his environment. "America" is both an emigration story and an anti- Bildungsroman that humorously and sarcastically dissects the American Dream. Georg Schmiedleitner directs, Stefan Brandtmayr designs the stage, and Su Bühler creates the costumes.
Further information is available on the official event website.
