Metamorphoses presented by Bethany Lutheran College

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.
