The bug inside is holding you back.
KafkaTech can make you clean again.
Join the METAMORPHOSIS.
Inspired by the classic absurdist novel by Franz Kafka.
Created by PTE artists Clara Francesca & Leo Lion.
Set at an uncanny corporate retreat, this original immersive retelling of a mysterious transformation from human to insect fuses audio tech, physical theatre, and interactive sensory installations. This darkly humorous and beautifully strange exploration of self-help, corporate culture, and late-stage capitalist anxieties will leave you changed…for the better. We promise.
“Co-creators Leo Lion and Clara Francesca have crafted a smart treatment which is simultaneously lighthearted and chilling, all while being faithful to Kaka’s vision, that it is dynamically presented. – Darryl Reilly, Theatrescene.org
