Metamorphoses at WCSU Runs This Weekend METAMORPHOSES Based on the Myths of OvidWritten and originally directed by Mary ZimmermanDirected by Sal TrapaniMusic directed and composed by Howard Kilik Click here to watch the behind-the-scenes trailer! Based on Ovid's transformation myths, Metamorphoses juxtaposes the ancient and the modern, using original music, dance, song and spoken word to create a ravishing theatricalization of Roman poet Ovid's powerful masterwork. A brilliant company of peformers embodies figures from Greek mythology to share both well-known and rarely told stories of transformation and change in this visually stunning and moving production. The themes of love, the inevitability of change, and the human ability to adapt to change are timeless, as is amply demonstrated by the sometimes eerie closeness of a vignette to the original lines from Ovid, which still manage to resonate with modern viewers. This Mainstage play runs this Friday through Sunday. Please note that all actors will be masked for this production.
