Instructions to Decode A(n In)human Transformation at Dixon Place

Instructions to Decode A(n In)human transformation is a postmodern punk ‘‘roach’’ cabaret inspired by Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. Written in verse and delivered as spoken poetry by three female performers, the piece involves the interweaving of live performance, original score by Milica Paranosic and video mapping. It is an urban and contemporary work offering a unique take on Gregor Samsa’s experiences following his inexplicable transformation, while providing a critique of the debilitating numbness of nine-to-five jobs and contemporary notions of familial duty.
