Synopsis "Dancing on the Ceiling"

Kafka for kids? Is that a good idea? Fortunately, with a slight change in tone, it is. The fantastical elements of The Metamorphosis strike a chord with adolescents who are often experiencing their own struggles with changing bodies. DANCING ON THE CEILING is an expressionistic fairy-tale about identity and role expectations. It's scary, funny, and moving. "Austin Tichenor recognizes that children are intelligent discriminating patrons of the arts ... giving them last summer's daring and innovative DANCING ON THE CEILING ..." -Milford Cabinet, Milford, NH "Tichenor's belief in serious play has brought him full circle. Like his plays for tots at American Stage Festival, his work for the Reduced Shakespeare Company is smart, fun, children's theater for grownups." -Bostonia Magazine

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
