The characters of The Burrow huddle there: they observe our world from their shelters. Entering their meanders, inside the Church of Santa Maria dei Battuti, one ends up on a comic and disturbing journey, together with figures poised between the difficulty of resisting reality and the temptation to escape it. “Each of Kafka’s characters,” Milan Kundera noted, “is locked into the joke of their own life, like a fish in an aquarium – and it doesn’t amuse them at all. Because a joke is only amusing to those who are outside the aquarium; Kafkianism, on the other hand, gets us into the bowels of the joke”.
