A One Night Special Performance

Captured on the Gold Coast and imprisoned in a cage, Redpeter's only escape route is to become a walking, talking, spitting, hard-drinking member of the Peace Industry, the entrepreneurial world of mercenary soldiers that is one of the biggest growth industries of the 21st century. In detailing the journey of his enforced evolution from Apedom to Humandom, Mr. Redpeter is a living embodiment of the irony that perhaps now he is more animal than he ever was as an Ape. Based on Kafka’s short story A Report to an Academy, Kafka's Ape is a theatrical tour-de-force. Born in 1883, Kafka is one of the most influential authors of the 20th Century.

Three strangers meet at a cheap motel room in Montréal. What was supposed to be a night of casual sex quickly turns into a confrontation of identity, sexuality, religion, desire and prejudice. The longer the sex is delayed, the more layers of truth are peeled back. Have they exposed themselves more fully clothed than they will naked? Have they come here to escape or to be who they truly are?
