What does it mean to transform into a bug? Physically, emotionally, inwardly? Why a bug? What would we like to talk about with the help of Kafka's text? These questions were the foundation of our creative process. We tried to open/read Kafka's surrealistic text, with the help of our sense of humor and common, objective attitude (if such is possible), we attempted to apply this to every scene and moment of being on stage. This permitted us to create a world of dysfunctional relations hiding behind the facade of a proper bourgeoisie family. Samsa's family life based on stereotypes, archetypes and dogmatic thinking led us into the world of doing theatre where tears and laughter are present all the time closely to one another.
