Kafka's Metamorphosis

WOW

I've just watched one of the most plays I've ever seen in my life.

It's Kafka's Metamorphosis in the Hong Kong Arts Festival performed by Vesturport and Lyric Hammersmith Production from England.

right from the beginning , the opening scene was sooooo strong and capturing, there was not one second of meaningless moment on stage, everything was soooo precise. look at the actors you see two words , ' discipline' and ' technique', Although I say that their technique is really strong, it wasn't like they were just plain technical machine, they were real!

the play is really good because asa physical theatre, it created the 'real-ness' and yet , a lot of stuffs are actually left for the audience' imagination. for example, the plany is about a person who turned into a bug and how his family is changing because of the event. And yet, the guy who turns into a bug was never dressed as a bug, He looks just like you andme, and he speaks like you and me , in plain England i mean ( and yet the family act like they are only hearing loud noise whenever he speaks) and that the way they react to seeing him tells us that he must look really really disgusting and scary... the only way to tell that he is not 'normal' apart from his family's reaction was that his room is horizonal. so that the actor actually had to move around in a totally different dimenion.  and he had to climb up and down and be upside domw for the longest time to creat the bug-like character. Man , he is strong!!!!!!  and the greatest thing is that it alll loook SOOOOO natural.....

Man all I can say is that the play was sooo inspiring that I had to take out my netbook and type alll this on my bus ride home. I can even wait till I get home. and by watching the play I realise why I wanna be a performer inthe first place and how powerful performing art is. Man I wanna like them, I wanna put on a great show!!!

so for those who are in Hong Kong I strongly advise you guys to try and get a ticket for the show I believe it's on for the weekend and it's at APA

really... I'm SOOOOOOOOO thankful and glad that I went
