Un matin, il est mis en « état d'arrestation », selon la formule consacrée, et ce sans raison apparente. Cherchant à comprendre, Joseph K, plongé dans le labyrinthe de l'appareil judiciaire, se heurte à la bureaucratie, où l'absurde le guette à chaque instant. Peu à peu, il entrevoit la terrible vérité : on lui reproche simplement sa qualité d'homme. Mais Joseph K ne se résigne pas à être broyé par une société inhumaine…

Steven Berkoff's iconic adaptation of Franz Kafka’s novella, which tells the tale of a traveling salesman who is transformed into an insect, is brought to life in this highly physical and visually striking production. Captured live at the Parco Theater in Tokyo, this landmark performance is in Japanese with English subtitles. Considered one of Berkoff’s masterpieces and performed multiple times since it first appeared in 1969, Metamorphosis combines elements of sound, physicality and minimalist design to recreate Kafka’s absurdist world on stage.

Piet is gone tells the story of Piet Beentjes, who went missing on the isle of Texel in 1987. For 30 years, Toos Beentjes has desperately tried to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of her homosexual brother. In vain. The police saw no reason to investigate the case: 'Eventually, he’ll wash up. And if not, the tourists will find him.' The film is not a quest for Piet Beentjes, but tells the story of what happened before and after the disappearance. About the Kafkaesque world Toos entered after her brother disappeared. A world of routine, lackadaisical interest and a lame police investigation.
