Metamorphosis 

London, New Diorama Theatre Feb 2019

Manchester Home Theatre Oct 2019

​

Collide premiered a new dance-theatre piece about being young and being made to feel alien by the people most close to you.
​
Adapted from Franz Kafka's novella 
Co-produced and performed at Tristan Bates Theatre in April 2019 and selected by Incoming Festival, and performed at New Diorama Theatre and at HOME MCR in June 2019.

​

​This is not a piece about a man turning into an insect. It is a piece about a family not accepting their child for who they are. Metamorphosis is an ode against ostracism, an ode to a human’s body uniqueness. In this new version created by director Emily Louizou, Metamorphosis will address one of the biggest human fears: feeling like an outsider – or rather, being made to feel different.

 

A chorus of five unique individuals will collectively, through storytelling, dance, and music, bring to life the story of Gregor Samsa in a celebration of his uniqueness and the uniqueness of all those before and after him who had to fight against their family’s alienation.
