The protagonist of the story Report to an Aacademy by Franz Kafka is the monkey Rotpeter. A group of hunters catch and the animal is boarded on a ship and sent to Europe; during the ocean voyage the monkey thus finds himself without freedom for the first time and then begins to study the habits of the human crew and, very soon, with surprising ease begins to imitate them. As soon as it arrives in Europe, the monkey is dedicated with even greater effort to become more and more human. She will succeed and, by now completely human, she will tell about her process of violent humanization in an academic location.
"There is a crypt inside each of us. It is found within the underground world in our body: the unconscious. Dionysus inhabits this crypt, awaiting his redemption. This is the place where we imagine that Kafka's narration takes place: in the lake of Acherusia that is inside our body, in an infinite sinking (Nekyia) ».

The work of Zero Point Theater Company is focused on refining the creative skills of the actor and director through the development of a collective process, which embraces both classical and modern texts. The psychophysical technique of the company led by Savvas Stroumpos, who grew up as a direct student of Theodoros Terzopoulos, places the body at the center of the artistic process, through an intense physical and vocal preparation. The training is based on the development of multiple disciplines including breath control, body awareness, activation of the body center and the release of the vocal potential of the artists.
