La Metamorfosi

1988 · 30m

The short film, a collaboration between the multimedia research group Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici and Loretta Mugnai, combines both film and electronic elements. It is an adaptation of the famous story by Kafka. Julia Anzillotti portrays Mrs. Samsa, known for her work with the Italian theater-dance group Parco Butterfly, while Rolando Mugnai of the Magazzini plays Mr. Samsa, having previously performed in computer comics by GMM. Teresa De Sio makes a friendly appearance as an ironic Grande Diva who communicates solely through soprano vocalizations, accompanied by comedian Daniele Trambusti as her interpreter. The true core of the story consists of the Samsa household televisions, which emphasize and amplify the narrative's emotions.
