The Joyce Theater recently held a ballet performance of Kafka’s Metamorphosis with Edward Watson as the principal dancer. The choreography was very well done in my opinion, especially Watsons’ depiction of the transformation, which was very eerie due to the contortionist-like movements. Arthur Pita, the man responsible for the choreography, also managed to instill some humor in this largely morbid production in respect to the scenes with the entire family and the clerk, and the three boarders. Frank Moon; the music composer, also did an excellent job with setting the tone for the entire storyline from the everyday noises (e.g the door) to the music. The execution of the lighting and stage design was very clean-cut and offered the audience insight into not just Gregors’ mindset but also showed what the family was going through. Overall, I enjoyed the adaption of Kafka’s Metamorphosis as a ballet production.
