About the performance
Premiere: 10.05.2025.
Language: Latvian
Genre: Puppet performance
A young man, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to discover that he has turned into an insect and is met with fear and rejection. Loneliness overtakes him while resentment grows within the family. Although all of them long for love, they quickly lose their way. Inspired by Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, the performance creates a world in which Gregor is a puppet controlled by his own family, offering an external view on the inner world of a young, lonely and desperate person.
!!! The performance will take place at Gertrude Street Theatre, 110a Gertrudes Street.
This performance includes strobe lighting and the use of a smoke machine.
