Based on Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis
Malthouse Theatre, Second Cousins,

Inspired by Kafka’s short story Metamorphosis, META re-imagines the given circumstances of Kafka’s world, drawing on his central characters but placing them in a contemporary nightmare where the tragic fate of the ‘other’ demands attention.
Performed with minimal dialogue, META presents three tightly woven episodes of Gregor’s world, highlighting the subtle transformation of his family as they struggle to accept the sudden change that is imposed upon them.
