The stage design aims to create a dynamic relationship between reflecting the contrasting yet interrelated forms of the quarry and theatrical space. By using fragmented compositions and multiple perspectives, the design emphasizes how disconnected elements can be perceived as part of a cohesive whole. The interplay of levels, angles, and shifting forms will evoke a sense of both familiarity and unfamiliarity in the audience, blending natural and human-made spaces. Kafka's Metamorphosis highlights nature's profound intervention in the mechanized, monotonous existence of Gregor Samsa, the protagonist, by transforming him into a beetle. This theatrical adaptation, set against a quarry's raw and rugged backdrop, amplifies this theme. This interplay between the setting and the narrative invites the audience to reflect on the tensions between industrialization, humanity, and the natural order.
