METAMORPHOSES

by Mary Zimmerman

Directed by Leah Mercer

“Let me die still loving, and so, never die…”

Set in and around a pool of water, Metamorphoses is Mary Zimmerman’s retelling of Ovid’s ancient tales of transformation based on myths from Ancient Greece and Rome, with a little Jung, Rilke and Joseph Campbell thrown in for good measure. Retold in contemporary language and a highly visual and physical style, Metamorphoses uses more than twenty-six characters to tell eleven tales, including some well-known ones like Midas and Orpheus. A highly theatrical night of storytelling the heart of Metamorphoses is the transformative capacity of love and imagination and what Time Magazine called “a glimpse of the divine.”
