Metamorphosis
Lyric Hammersmith and Vesturport
by Franz Kafka
Directed and adapted by David Farr and Gisli Orn Gundarsson
Original music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
"In one night, everything has changed."
The ordinary, unremarkable life of the Samsa family is suddenly turned upside down when their son, Gregor, awakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a giant insect. This theatrically spellbinding production from Iceland combines remarkable physicality and daring aerial action as the recently transformed Gregor negotiates a gravity-defying set in a daring re-telling of this haunting story.
The High Performance Rodeo and Theatre Calgary present Metamorphosis, running January 9-13, 2013 in the Max Bell Theatre.
