Speaking of water and its transformative powers.
Sunday we will attend Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses
That’s looks really cool. Is it basically an adaptation of Ovid?
I guess the stage must be set mostly below the risers, so the audience is looking down on the actors (like the cameras in the videos).
(I bet the actors have a ton of fun.)

The most powerful of the myths is perhaps the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, presented also in the poet Rilke’s version; and the mixture of humor and pathos in the tale of King Midas as a venture capitalist who can do no wrong; and Phaeton, whining to his therapist that his relationship with his father Apollo wasn’t all that great, especially that disastrous day Phaeton insisted dad turn over the keys to the chariot of the sun.
