Ignite Festival: Kusse

Event Date: 
02/06/2014 - 9:00pm to 03/06/2014 - 6:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

Kusse explores our human desire to connect with others and our need for intimacy. Loosely based on Franz Kafka’s Letters to Felice; an impossible love affair that existed through hundreds of letters, a handful of meetings, two engagements, and no marriages; Kafka’s desire was defeated by his fear. Kusse combines visually poetic images with quirky humour to reflect upon intimacy in an age of virtual relationships.
