(FRANZ KAFKA: THE TRANSFORMATION) Kafka's gruesome tale, written in 1912, describes the metamorphosis of the travelling salesman Gregor Samsa into a pest.


How do people behave when the impossible happens before their eyes? For example, when a successful man suddenly turns into a vermin?

With relentless plausibility, the Prague writer, who described Berlin as his ‘place of longing’, describes how the former breadwinner of the family becomes a bug that is increasingly perceived as a burden by those around him.
A process of marginalisation begins, which ends fatally for Gregor Samsa.

Kafka's captivating story raises highly topical issues such as marginalisation, social isolation and the rejection of those who are different.
Selected pieces of music for violoncello create a particularly gripping atmosphere.
