Metamorphosis Ballet Review

If you’re looking for an unconventional ballet where your mind will be constantly working, look no further. Metamorphosis is currently being performed at the Joyce Theater, this play focuses on the life of Gregor, a young man who finds himself become a cockroach one morning. The performance is bursting with intense scenes of music, and noise, along with contrasting quieter scenes with less excitement. To be completely honest, I dozed off slightly during one of these quieter scenes due to the soothing violin of Frank Moon combined with the dimly lit room; this is not, however it seems, to say that the ballet is disengaging or boring. My overall view is that the performance by Edward Weston accurately portrayed the struggles of Franz Kafka’s original protagonist.
