Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman

November 18-21 at 8 p.m.
Tony White Theater, Campus Life Building
With sweeping, universal themes and modern insight into Ovid's familiar myths of transformation, Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses is an inspired fusion of music, movement, and classical storytelling. Based around a pool of water, the piece seamlessly moves the familiar tales of old from the page to the stage in a series of often surprising and always poignant vignettes.
Metamorphoses is a profound reminder of our connection to myth, to our past, and to each other.
