Everything changes. Nothing dies. The soul wanders here and there, occupying whatever body it chooses.
– Metamorphoses, Ovid
Survival is at the core of METAMORPHOSES 2023, a bold and contemporary adaptation of Ovid’s epic poem "Metamorphoses" that incarnates the original text's mythic elements through mime, illusion, spoken word, silence and Bharatanatyam dance.
“I love Ovid’s philosophy of life as a long wave of transformations: no death, no birth, no beginning, and no end, but an endless possibility to flee, to never be pinned down to one identity.” Michele Smith, Director
METAMORPHOSES 2023 paints the landscape of a cruel world that could be our world and reminds us that to be alive is to be constantly changing, constantly transforming.
An innovative, physical theatre company, which has enjoyed international acclaim, Theatre Smith-Gilmour, co-founded by Michele Smith and Dean Gilmour, is committed to creating a theatre that mobilizes the imagination.
