The word 'war' is rooted in an 11th-century German word for confusion and perplexity, and is intimately related to 'discord,' which, when broken down to its most literal parts, means 'the heart in two.' This revelation--that the germ of war could be conceptualized as a rupture at the core of an individual--became the starting point for my new project, The Broken Teacup, a series of five animated films based on short stories by Franz Kafka.
