Metamorfosis

One day, Gregor Samsa wakes up and has been turned into a horrible, disgusting insect. From that moment on, he shuts himself in his bedroom and no longer finds understanding or reassurance from his family or the other people who surround him. Kafka wrote this parable about the emerging dehumanised society in 1912, at the height of industrialisation, where the individual was becoming simply a worker, without a life. The production, created in Prague by the Forman Brothers, combines puppets, actors and music (included as an extra character) and revives the value of tradition, of art in its simplest form as a symbol of the loss of craftsmanship.
