Tuesday night’s breathtaking performance at the Joyce Theater of Arthur Pita’s surreal ballet of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis was quite memorable.  Edward Watson’s unique portrayal of Gregor Samsa, a troubled working man who becomes a nasty vermin, is riveting, complex, and demonstrates a ridiculous amount of contortion.  Moving across the stage like a horrendous vermin to the spooky tunes of the composer Frank Moon and chilling lighting effects by Guy Hoare, Edward Watson brings life to Gregor Samsa.  The supporting cast do an excellent job as their characters attempt to deal with Gregor’s transformation and the pure fear they express at the wake of his presence.  Arthur Pita does a fabulous job in choreographing the ballet as each character dances across the stage in their own distinct way: Gregor crawls around like an insect; his sister parades around the room with traditional ballet; and Gregor’s father gracefully moves across the stage with a sense of masculinity.  If you are interested in watching a superbly directed Royal Ballet Production that is unique and avant-garde in its delivery, look no further than Arthur Pita’s rendition of Metamorphosis.
