A classic novella, Metamorphosis, turned into a stage play through the medium of physical theatre and dance.
Franz Kafka’s novella (1915) tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect. Directed by Carl knif and dramatised by Christoffer Mellgren, the work focuses on the effects metamorphosis has on family relationships.
