Last night I attended the play “The Metamorphosis” at the Joyce theater in NYC. Based on the book “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, Arthur Pita presented the audience with an entirely new view of the work. Personally, this was my first time at a dance/ballet, and I have to say that I really enjoyed the performance as well as the experience as a whole. In his interpretation, Pita presented the story in a much darker and horrific fashion than from what I felt in the book. One of the greatest aspects of the performance, was the stage design by Simon Daw, which really allowed the audience to feel engaged with all of the characters at once. Overall, I deeply enjoyed the performance and would definitely recommend it to everyone, especially those who previously read the book version.
