Expect a visually grasping performance where the costumes have been drip-fed steroids and act as the framework for storytelling. Deeply reflective, intimate and beautiful, Metamorphosis will leave you with love and appreciation for Earth and the womb that produced you.
Experience a meditation on Mother Nature and her constant transformation. Circling around themes of birth and finding your place in the ecosystem, Metamorphosis explores our relationship with our planet. The character of Mother Nature is investigated through experimental choreographies, demonstrating her power as well as extreme vulnerability, thus sparking a reflection on womanhood itself.
Metamorphosis conveys a completely new way of making theatre with costumes as a founding pillar and is the debut of director Nina Brostrøm Laumann. She challenges the traditional use of costumes by creating designs that take up the whole theatre setting, are worn by several people at once, and have the ability to physically transform.
Nina follows the notion that sustainability can be present throughout a creative process. Therefore all costumes are created from repurposed materials and are intended to continue their transformation by entering a pool of costumes for future use.
The people featured in Metamorphosis are amazingly talented early-career performers from various creative hubs in London.
Come take a look at a stunning and visionary contribution to the London theatre scene!

"It is precisely these types of projects, involving these types of people, in these types of theatres that make London what it is."
