Full tour dates have been introduced for Frantic Assembly’s new adaptation of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, a collaboration between internationally celebrated poet, playwright and broadcaster Lemn Sissay OBE and Frantic Assembly’s creative director Scott Graham (Othello, Lovesong, Beautiful Burnout).
Metamorphosis will likely be tailored by Lemn Sissay, designed by Jon Bausor, with video design by Ian William Galloway, music composed by Stefan Janik and sound design by Helen Skiera.
Kafka’s Metamorphosis is a strong and important depiction of people struggling inside a system that crushes them below its heel. Gregor Samsa finds himself remodeled from bread winner into burden on this absurd and tragic story. Frantic Assembly are famend for his or her use of physicality and motion and Metamorphosis will likely be an inherently visceral manufacturing in regards to the limitations of the physique and the thoughts, of creativeness and aspiration. All of this, coupled with the fluidity and lyricism of Lemn Sissay’s adaptation, guarantees an thrilling and dynamic present.
