When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous verminous bug.
In that moment his world instantly changed. Unable to leave his home, he could not work, he could not communicate, he could not hold his family close, he went from provider to burden. He was on mute while the world revolved around him.
A cast of 12, all of whom awoke to a different world, without work, forced to reinterpret their profession, their identity, their very worth to the world, offer a reinterpretation of Franz Kafka’s classic novella for our times.
TRAILER
;)
Fresh and enjoyably mind-bending. Thought provoking and often a laugh-out-loud comic absurdity.
Wales Arts Review
Many companies and organisations have taken to using Zoom as simply a platform to broadcast a play; however, Hijinx have gone further and utilised a Zoom webinar in a genuinely innovative way.
Wales Arts Review
This was my first time watching an online theatre show and I LOVED it! I hadn't read Metamorphosis but the plot came through clearly.
