And it all transformed to goodness!

So... FINALLY I've seen a good and worthy performance with Drama group, only thing it wasn't with my usual group but with those one year before us. I was the only one of Form V, while surrounded with the six students of Form IV and Miss AC. Awkward...

Setting off from the personal diary to the analysis of this interpretative dance based on "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. I actually liked many movements that José Ruiz Subauste, the unipersonal's actor/dancer, because there was intensity, dynamics, energy on them. He had everything calculated, rather than just a movement or a choreography it was an interpretation of the novel. It was really something so well-done that you could really notice it has been rehearsed with a lot of time and passion.

The use of lights for this play was really impressive. It created different scenes, such as the beginning, when he sees himself at the mirror and the light is going on and off in a flash. It created a suspense, tension, and mystery type of environment. It actually set us upon different scenarios. As when he was a "monstrous insect" and followed the lights, or the sound of the violin that his sister played.

The dancer was very well-aware of not only the story, but also the movements he had to do to impersonate it. Such as the insect, when he has to walk differently, kind of monstrously. The movements in the cocoon that were very alike to what we can see once a butterfly or another cocoon-insect moves inside it. It was a lot of study very visible in the different types of movements.

I really want to know truly how much research has the actor (not the director) done in order to create this fascinating interpretation of the novella?
