For the month of September, all the shows from Narodni Divadlo are on discount. Luckily I remembered the article and was able to find the code. The first show I decided to watch was a ballet called Kafka: The Trial. An Italian choreographer was so inspired by Kakfa's story, that he decided to make a ballet based on it. While I was purchasing the tickets, I noticed that there was a free tour based on Kafka's life before the ballet. It was such a unique experience to be able to walk around Prague to the places that were important to Kafka's life before watching the performance. I was able to go down some streets I have never been to before and learn about places that I often walk by, but didn't know the history behind it. The Kafka statue is a combination of three of Kafka's stories. The first is metamorphosis and that is represented by the cockroach that is on the base of the statue designed with black bricks. The second story is Description of a Struggle and the third is Judgement. I have seen this statue so many times, but I had no idea that it represented three of Kafka's stories and I found that so interesting. A week later, I went to watch the opera Tosca and this weekend I will watch another ballet. My friends and I want to watch as many shows as we can using the discount.
