The Burrow, a story Kafka wrote towards the end of his life, may not be one of the great Czech author’s best-known stories, but it is cut from the same allegorical cloth: a mysterious creature, a hybrid of a human and an animal, lives an isolated life inside a perfectly-constructed underground burrow of its own making, in order to protect itself from the real world. That is until fear and doubt break in, and the nest becomes a trap. This performance by Vicky Georgiadou and Maria Kallimarni retains the first-person perspective of the labyrinthine narrative to expose the pointlessness of precautiousness, and to feel out the mundane facets of fear.
