METAMOPRHOSIS

Zoomperformance with Lockdown-Teasers.

A family in the heart of Germany, in their apartment, on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Squatting on top of each other and chronically irritated, the Samsas find themselves in crisis - with different coping strategies. Father Samsa is beside himself, Mother Samsa at the stove. So far, so stereotypical. While daughter Grete digs into Reclam notebooks for her German A-levels, a big secret is made about son and sole breadwinner Gregor. Because the money shortage is more real than anything else, the big fundraising gala is now imminent. The Samsa family asks for evening dress.

For eight weeks at the beginning of the first Lockdown, the artists dealt with Kafka's Metamorphosis and looked for an artistic exaggeration for their isolation.
