Inspired by the absurd visions of Franz Kafka, VIVO Metamorphosis spins a tale of fantasy, terror and unbridled emotion. While the iberian gallantry of Boccherini's Fandango for guitar, strings and castanets sets the Kafkaesque mood, György Kurtág's aphoristic fragments bring the author's voice to life for violin and voice. The evening closes with the raw intimacy of Janaček's 2nd string quartet, a contemporaneous musical echo of Kafka's own manic intimate letters. 


All events are subject to change.
