“This is not a conventional play, but an immersive performance in which both the actors and the audience become live performers. The performance kickstarted in a darkened hall with statuettes of eight figures (four couples) in stillness. Performed by Midhun Krishna, Chanchui Khayi, Adheena, Mohammad Nihaal, Sreeparvathy, Saumya Yadav, Rishi Kumar, Kriti Joshi and Pappu Ratnakar, Metamorphosis was reminiscent of the cinematic images of Abbas Kiarostami, Andrei Tarkovsky and Ritwik Ghatak. “These cinema legends are a major influence on my theatre,” informs Pappu. The highlights of the overall performance were the gripping actors’ movement and the brilliant theatrical content.
