This performance is part of the Metamorphoses Project, a web of programming and course work engaging the Colby and Waterville communities around the theme of myth and its ongoing importance in contemporary life.
With an on-stage swimming pool, a collection of gods and goddesses, some infamous denizens of the underworld, a raft or two, strolling musicians, a psychiatrist, spectacular lighting effects and a trio of singing and dancing laundresses, this highly theatrical retelling of Ovid's Metamorphoses takes mythology (and swimming) to a whole new place. Filled with contemporary references and vivid imagery, Metamorphoses bridges myth and modernism and invites us to celebrate the staying power of love in the face of constant and inevitable change.
