Atop a thatched roof, is the vision of a Fiddler and then...the room becomes suddenly alive, in a grand opening, with the robust voices of over 50 peasant, villagers, singing 'TRADITION!..TRADITION!'

I wanted to read Kafka's Metamorphosis before attending the Royal Ballet's production bearing the same name.

by Marakay Rogers - Aug 30, 2012
