A Report to an Academy, Franz Kafka

Lake Acherousia of the Body and the Dionysian Crypt.

There is a crypt in our body. The crypt is found in the “underworld” of our body. There stands Dionysos, waiting for his salvation, in front of Lake Acherousia, the gray zone of his inner exile. This is the area, which Kafka is writing about.

In this play we and Kafka, go down the Acherousia Lake of our body, and together we narrate the story of the brutal humanization of the life energy of each person, essentially of our own selves. We are going to look at the crypt in the eye, where Dionysos is standing, banished inside us. We are going to dare to open this door.
