The Metamorphosis | Franz Kafka | World Classics | Mirchi Bangla Audio Story

Mirchi Bangla presents a haunting Bengali adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.

Date of broadcast – 22nd August 2025

In this surreal tale, Gregor Samsa, a weary traveling salesman, wakes up one fine morning to find that he is no longer a human, but a giant, hideous insect. As his family grapples with shock, shame, and burden, the once-dutiful son becomes a prisoner in his own home.

Dive into this extremely alien yet dangerously familiar downward vortex of depression and isolation of a middle-class man. This evocative audio drama brings Kafka’s nightmarish masterpiece to life, echoing its timeless themes for today’s Bengali audience.


সংসারের দায়িত্বে জেরবার, নিরানন্দ চাকরির ঘানি টানতে থাকা বিবর্ণ, সাদামাটা জীবন গ্রেগর সামসার। একদিন সকালে ঘুম ভেঙে সে দেখল, তার শরীরটা বদলে গেছে এক বীভৎস, দানবিক পোকার চেহারায়। এবার কী হবে? কীভাবে তাদের সংসার চলবে? বাবা মা বোন, নিজের নিকটতম আত্মীয়রা কি পারবে তাকে এই নতুন রূপে আপন করে নিতে?
