In the organizer's words:

"DIE VERWANDLUNG" by Franz Kafka

Scenic reading by movingtheatre as part of the festival "Verwandlungen" - 3 solos

Franz Kafka's story "The Metamorphosis", in which the traveling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning as a monstrous vermin, is undoubtedly one of the most important literary masterpieces of the 20th century.
On the 100th anniversary of the author's death, actor Thomas Hupfer brings the tension and tragedy as well as the grotesque and comic aspects of this great text to life in a staged reading.

"The story offers a wealth of social observations. It shows on a small scale how disaster works on a large scale. ... In his performance, Hupfer doses tension, tempo, surprise, the absurd and also the comic to such an extent that the notorious Kafkaesque is all the more powerful, the catastrophes that befall Samsa become vivid as if in a movie. ... Great applause for a strong performance."
Martina Dreisbach, Taunus Zeitung, 07.12.19
