Die Verwandlung

In the organizer's words:

by Franz Kafka

in the studio

"When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin". Franz Kafka's famous story "The Metamorphosis" begins with this sentence. And what initially seems like a bad dream soon turns out to be a merciless reality: from now on, Gregor has to live as an insect. The indispensable pillar of the indebted family has become a creature of monstrous uselessness, a foreign body, a parasite. But Gregor takes a liking to his otherness, while his family increasingly turns away from him and banishes him to the next room. They used to have a son, a brother. Now a disgusting insect lives next door, making normal family life impossible. If only you could just get rid of "it" ...

In "The Metamorphosis",Franz Kafka (1883-1924) uses nightmarish images to describe the intrusion of the Other into a strictly sealed-off world - the microcosm of the family.
