NOTES

The Roman poet Ovid wrote the original Metamorphoses around 8 A.D. A sprawling collection of tales about gods of the Roman Pantheon, and "bodies, which have been transformed into shapes of a different kind", it is full of mythical digressions and stories within stories.


"To pool or not to pool?" was the big question, and once that was answered, we all felt the thrill of being involved.

The prodigiously talented students who have been part of every creative step should be truly proud of the work. On our first day of work we discussed how the imagination of thre audience can make illusion become reality and how a theatre is not only a literal space, but also a place where we dream together.
