Metamorphosis at Esplanade Theatre Studio

“As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect…”

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.

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.
