Summary/Abstract: Reviewing Metamorphosis, directed by Andriy Zholdak (Theater Oberhausen, prem.: 24 Oct 2014) Thomas Irmer also attempts to characterise the aesthetics of the Ukrainian artist's work. He examines the beginnings of his career in Moscow and the Ukraine, and recalls his first premiere at the Berlin Volksbühne. After ten years, already as a well-known European director, Zholdak has returned to the German stage with a far from obvious, surprising interpretation of Franz Kafka's short story, which, according to Irmer, is a big stage success.
