Originally directed and devised by Meng Jinghui with students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Metamorphosis of a Madman is an experimental performance-in-progress inspired by Franz Kafka’s "Metamorphosis" and Lu Xun’s "Diary of a Madman." In this meeting of classic texts from the East and West, one man awakens to the sinister secret of his village and questions his sanity, while another man wakes up as a giant bug and begins to question what it really means to be a monster. Continuing with the methods of Jinghui's, "Dangerous Direction" style, this show questions what we reject and why.
