Samahaara is staging "Gregor Samsa", an adaptation of Franz Kafka's novella "Metamorphosis". The play features Anjali Parvati Koda, and is directed by Rathna Shekar Reddy. It will be staged on 23 Feb 2014, at 7:30pm.
When Franz Kafka read Metamorphosis to his friends, he read it as if it were a comedy. The listeners laughed and clapped at the troubles of Gregor Samsa, who woke up one fine morning to discover that he had, somehow, metamorphosed into a bug. Gregor Samsa, the salesman turned into a bug, must now face the reality of his new form, and his family of parents and a sister must now deal with it.
Is it a tragedy or a comedy when his manager is scared away by the bug that was/is Gregor? Is it really funny that he now has a taste for spoiled food? Is it hilarious that his family now will not look at him?
Come watch this comedy/tragedy as the family turns from scared to sympathetic to horror and apathy, as they react to this strange illness.
This play is being presented by Samahaara after Anjali Parvati Koda's earlier plays "Purushotham" and "Dominic Wesley".
