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.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Strobe lighting, Splash zone

Abstract image with aqua, brown, and geometric patterns in white, green, blue, and pink.
