"Metamorphoses" is a performance-collage of ancient myths that delves deeply into the human psyche and explores its hidden depths. The director’s interpretation challenges the audience and their perceptions. Powerful aesthetic images and compelling acting lead the mind toward the inner world of the human being and their most intimate experiences.

"Metamorphosis is something very special — it is the greatest hope for our time, because nothing moves only forward or only backward; everything transforms. And we must know that at some point metamorphosis awaits us." — Staiko Murgev

The production was realized with the financial support of the National Culture Fund - program "Recovery and Development of State, Municipal and Regional Cultural Institutes"
