A Play with Original Music by Nick Cave!!
A theatrically explosive new version of Kafka’s famous short story is brought to brilliant life by a mix of Icelandic and British creative talent. In Gísli Örn Gardarsson and David Farr’s darkly comic and physical production, the unremarkable life of the Samsa family is turned - literally - upside down. This hugely acclaimed production combines breathtaking physicality and daring aerial action as the recently transformed Gregor lithely negotiates a gravity-defying split level set. With evocative original music by world-renowned musician and lyricist Nick Cave, and long-time collaborator Warren Ellis, Metamorphosis is a savagely humorous and profoundly moving expression of the alienation of modern man. One of the hottest international shows of 2008, this muscular production bursts onto the stage making Kafka’s dream-like vision an electrifying reality.
