Ovid compared his "Metamorphosis" to the effects of theatre. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that one of the most famous European directors, Silviu Purcărete, should have the ambition of translating the stanzas of the poem, to express their poetic essence and distillate extraordinary sounds and images out of them. In his adaptation of Ovid's masterpiece, which he worked on with Alain Garlan, Purcărete sought to magnify human beings' deepest emotions.
Working with various kinds of artists, he fairly seems to seize on the poems and turns them into a mystifying and memorable show.
