Liepājas Leļļu teātra izrāde "Metamorfoze"

"Spēlmaņu nakts" 2024/2025 jury nomination for "Small Form Performance of the Year" (director Rihards Zelezņevs) and "New Stage Artist of the Year" Signija Joce for the performance scenography.

Based on Franz Kafka's novella "The Metamorphosis"

“I cannot make you understand, I cannot make anyone else understand what is happening within me; I cannot even explain it to myself.” /Franz Kafka/

A young man named Gregor Samsa wakes up to find that he has turned into an insect. He does not understand how to live with his new body, seeks support from his loved ones, but out of fear, the family turns away, and he remains alone in his room.

Gregor tries to survive, and while he is overcome by loneliness, the family is overcome by hatred. This family will never be the same again, and even though they all long for love, they quickly and far stray from this path.

Inspired by Franz Kafka's novella "The Metamorphosis" (1915), a world has been created where Gregor is a puppet, and its handlers are members of his own family: mother, father, and sister. This is a side view of the inner world of a young, lonely, and desperate person.
