Metamorphosis

WEB POSTER FYP2 Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
by Steven Berkoff, adapted from Franz Kafka

Presented by Intercultural Theatre Institute
In Collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

---

Intercultural Theatre Institute presents Steven Berkoff's adaptation of Metamorphosis, directed by Aarne Neeme and performed by the ITI graduating class of 2024. This gripping retelling of Franz Kafka's iconic novella melds abstract physical theatre and psychological drama with elements of dark comedy.

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.
