TRANSFORMATION
The premiere took place on September 12, 2024
St. Petersburg / Masterskaya Theater
"METATURE"
based on the story by F. Kafka
This is an animated performance by Roman Gabria. The actors, together with the director, specifically looked for cartoon plasticity. For the first time, Kafka is read not only as the author of a thriller for adults, but also as the author of a parable that will be understandable to children. Who has not staged this work, how have they not solved the insect on the theater stage, but in the entire history of productions of the famous story, for the first time "Metamorphosis" is addressed to the whole family. Using this material, the director wants to talk to both adults and teenagers about how important it is to love and support each other, no matter what metamorphoses happen to us and our loved ones. Roman Gabria writes a kind of stage diary of Gregor Samsa, the main character of this story, who one morning after a restless sleep turned into a terrible insect.
