变形记 Metamorphosis

《变形记》（Metamorphosis）改编自弗朗茨·卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）的经典小说，是一部结合肢体剧场、戏剧与视觉叙事的现代舞台作品 。故事始于主角格里高尔·萨姆沙（Gregor Samsa）在一天早晨醒来，发现自己变成了一只昆虫 。曾经是家庭支柱的他，在变形后逐渐被家人、社会甚至自我意识所抛弃 。

本剧由来自沙巴与吉隆坡的独立艺术家携手创作，以客家话与华语演出（附英文字幕）。透过真实与象征的交错，作品不仅呈现了“怪物的孤独”，更深刻揭示了现代人在体制与期待压迫下的异化与无声绝望 。

Adapted from Franz Kafka’s classic novella, Metamorphosis is a modern stage production that combines physical theatre, drama, and visual storytelling. The story begins when Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find he has transformed into an insect. Once the pillar of his family, he is slowly abandoned by society, his kin, and eventually his own sense of self.

Performed in Mandarin and Hakka with English surtitles, this production is a collaboration between independent artists from Sabah and Kuala Lumpur. Through the interplay of realism and symbolism, the play explores not just the “loneliness of a monster,” but the silent despair and alienation of modern life under the weight of systemic expectations.
