Metamorphosis in Singapore
« Reply #1 on: November 02, 2024, 09:18:30 PM »
Intercultural Theatre Institute present Steven Berkoff's Metamorphosis.  It is on from 7- 9 November 2024 at the Esplanade Theatre Studio.

The director is Aarne Neemecast with the cast Adam Guevarra Almeniana, Akshay Sharma, Karthik S, Krys Yuan and Lam Man Yik.

"The story follows Gregor Samsa, a young man who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he grapples with his new grotesque form, Gregor’s once-supportive family begins to unravel, revealing deep-seated fears and hidden resentments. Set in a claustrophobic atmosphere with minimalist staging, the play explores themes of alienation, identity, and the crushing weight of societal expectations.

This adaptation of Metamorphosis remains faithful to Kafka’s original work while showcasing Berkoff’s unique approach to theatre. The result is a production that not only reflects on the fragility of identity and the human condition but also resonates with contemporary audiences facing the pressures of modern society.".
