A light shining on Gregor´s body while descending doing a
series of movements, marked the life of Gregor Samsa.¨Humans can´t live with
creatures,¨ screams Grete Samsa refering to her own brother, Gregor. Is this
true? Aren´t humans able to understand different situations, aren´t we smart
enough to handle them? Have you ever felt rejected by others? Well, Gregor
Samsa has.
Metamorphosis
written by Franz Kafka and directed and adapted by David
Farr and Gisli Örn Gardarsson, was performed in different theatres with
a high number of witnesses. Gregor Samsa, a salesman who used to provide all
the money to his family, wakes up transformed into a giant bug, not being
recognized or understood by anyone, not even his family. Although he was trying to help and express
himself as clear as he could, no one could understand him. How can you forget
so quickly about your brother, son, or friend? Convince yourself that the
person who looks you in the eyes trying to explain something you something is
impossible to be understood. Hitting, not feeding, not being able to look at
him, disown, in disgust.
Even thought in some occasions it was repetive, lighting,
actors, music, voices, stage, dialogue, physical expressions and many different
details made possible Metamorphosis to be done, making an extraordinary good job.
