+++Nick Neihart The Mistreatment of Gregor is a loose interpretation of Kafka's Metamorphosis in which the artist reenacts the feelings and happenings of Gregor, the ostracized and misunderstood son turned beetle. The idea behind the piece is to portray the value our culture places on art as well as to offer the audience a chance to directly influence the performance, guiding it with their participation or lack thereof. The end result is the eucharist of the artist, a kind of breaking oneself open and pouring oneself out for the sake of art itself. The piece is performed by traveling musician and artist, Nick Neihart. http://nickneihart.bandcamp.com/
