We promote cultural exchange, education and social discourse

The cultural program work of the Goethe-Institut Singapore is diverse and supports very different forms of artistic expression in the fields of visual arts, theatre, film, dance, literature and oral culture.

Franz Kafka – 100 years after his death

Why does Franz Kafka’s spell remain unbroken a hundred years after his death? Why do we still perceive Kafka as so modern and contemporary? Because Kafka wrote such beautiful letters? Because we love drama queens? Because we feel that the world has never been more Kafkaesque than it is today? Join us as we step into Kafka’s world! Be Kafka!
