Based on Ovid's transformation myths, Metamorphoses mixes the ancient stories with contemporary language, humor, and thought. This is all enacted in and around a large pool of water, the elemental giver of life and vehicle for change. The themes of love, the inevitability of change, and the human ability to adapt are timeless, as is demonstrated by the sometimes eerie closeness of a vignette to the original lines from Ovid, which still manage to resonate in modern times.
A time lapse over the course of weeks building the set for the Bethany Lutheran College Theatre production of Metamorphoses written by Mary Zimmerman and directed by Benji Inniger. Performances were held April 17-19, 24, and 25, 2015 in the Sigurd K. Lee Theater of the Ylvisaker Fine Arts Center.
