In this one-of-a-kind performance, Rudy intertwines a theatrical stand-up performance with mesmerizing solo guitar pieces, while also sharing personal photographs from his private archive. His new show, It would be so simple…, honors the legacy of Franz Kafka, whose presence continues to resonate with us, even a century after his death.
