DIRECTED BY: Anne Kelly
Date: May 5 - 8
Time: 8 PM
Location: CalArts Campus; Chouinard Pool
About:
Experience a fresh and inventive new staging of Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation of Ovid’s timeless collection of Greek myths, brought to life through a highly choreographic, site-specific activation of Chouinard Pool. Here, water becomes more than a setting: it is an agent of transformation, a ritual force, a rite of purification, and a symbol of the unconscious.
