Metamorphosis

A plastic drama based on Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis.

One morning, after a restless sleep, Gregor Samsa awakens to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. This is the starting point of the stage adaptation by Yermek Amanshayev, based on Kafka’s complex and tense narrative, leading the audience into deep contemplation. Interestingly, the reasons behind Gregor’s metamorphosis remain unexplained. The play explores the profound impact of his transformation on his family, forcing the audience to reflect on pressing questions: How did Gregor’s condition affect his loved ones? And who is truly responsible for the young man’s gradual loss of self and eventual demise?
