The real metamorphosis (or: what Franz Kafka had no idea about)

Based on the famous Franz Kafka's story <The Metamorphosis>.

Parallele Linien (Parallel lines)

The story about a young art student, who is practicing methods of awareness extension and, in course of them, gets beamed into the history of Vienna by a couple of shamen. He experiences old sagas and legends, then real criminal cases from the past, first passively, but then gradually in an active and passionate way. These actions are supposed to make him more sensitive and to improve his art but in the end they almost kill him. It's a homage to Vienna and to the Art.

The biblical story being told in a different way. Bases on the dialogues between Jesus and Maria Magdalena,who becomes the linchpin of all the followers.

Attention:  Considering the radical use of the original biblical contents and the present Brussels' events, Gester decides to stop this project unless a usable alternative option emerges. We won't trample down the lying one.
