He recounted how modest "Salesman" Gregor Samsa, used a 'textile company, wakes up one morning turned into an insect. The story, which is stunning for a middle-class family in the face of an incomprehensible occurrence, touches the most intimate essence of contemporary man's existential conflict.

The show holds a plot in the form of childish game, more or less consciously hatched by her sister against brother. All the more so today, in an 'era of overpopulation, strong migrations, vecchiaie increasingly protracted, the fight for space is, every day, before our eyes, and also read through this way adapted to our times the Kafka text , albeit from his surreal corner, still he speaks to us.
