“In one night, everything has changed."

The unremarkable life of the Samsa family is suddenly turned upside down when their son, Gregor, awakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a giant insect. This hugely acclaimed production from Iceland combines remarkable physicality and daring aerial action as the recently transformed Gregor navigates a gravity-defying set. A haunting story retold in a spellbinding way.

"Such brilliant theatricality that it is impossible to tear your eyes away." - Time Out, Hong Kong

"Possibly the finest, highest expression of theatre to which I have yet born witness." - Australian Stage
