“BEST DIRECTOR OF 2010” RETURNS TO CSU WITH METAMORPHOSES

Cleveland Scene’s Best Director of 2010, Assistant Professor of Theatre
Holly Holsinger will return to the Cleveland State University Factory
Theatre to helm the award-winning Metamorphoses. Adapted by Mary Zimmerman
from the myths of Ovid, Metamorphoses is comical, breathtaking,
heartbreaking and sublime, and was described by the New York Times as “the
place in which dreams and reality, the primal and the particular melt and
merge, devastate and console.” Metamorphoses runs through November 21, 2010
at Cleveland State University’s Factory Theatre. 

Performing in and around an 1,800 gallon on-stage pool designed and built
specifically for the Factory Theatre, Holsinger’s cast of twelve
undergraduate students portray characters in nine Greek myths taken from
Ovid, ranging from Midas’s golden touch to Phaeton, whose misadventure on
his father Apollo’s sun-chariot is dissected in a psychoanalysis session, to
the forbidden relationship between Myrrha and her father. 

"Every aspect of the play is about transformation,” says the show’s
dramaturge, Dr. Lisa Bernd, “Metamorphoses uses Ovid's ancient work to
explore how human beings are transformed by greed, lust, grief, love,
kindness
 In addition, each actor portrays more than one character in the
play—so not only are you seeing mythical stories about transformation, but
the actors themselves are continually transforming.”

“Also, for me these stories have made their way into our subconscious,”
continues Prof. Holsinger, “They appear over and over throughout history in
different ways and places. They keep getting reinvented. They are part of
our human culture.”

Tickets may be purchased online at csu.ticketleap.com, by phone at
216.687.2109 or at the CSU Theatre Office, 1833 East 23rd St., Room 204.
Unclaimed tickets may be released 5 minutes before curtain.

 

Metamorphoses runs Thursday, Friday*, Saturday at 8:00pm and Sunday at 2pm
