Theatre Play – The Metamorphosis

Visit Madeira — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:47:45 +0000

The Associação Palco Vazio presents the theatre production “The Metamorphosis”, based on the work of Franz Kafka, with staging and adaptation by Paula Filipa, on the 1st and 2nd of May, at the Casa da Cultura de Câmara de Lobos.

The play tells the story of Gregor Samsa, an exhausted travelling salesman who, on an apparently ordinary morning, wakes up inexplicably transformed into a monstrous insect. From this absurd event, his life — and that of his family — undergoes an irreversible rupture.

Performances will take place on 1 May at 6:00 pm, and on 2 May at 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
