The Prismatic Arts Festival is a national, multidisciplinary arts festival that showcases and celebrates innovative work by Indigenous artists and artists of colour from across Canada. Based in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia), Prismatic has been bringing audiences vibrant, boundary-pushing new works in theatre, dance, music, film, visual arts, media arts, and spoken word since 2008.
Description
Prismatic Arts Festival and 2b Theatre Co-present "Metamorphoses"
Metamorphoses is a story of radical transformation — a beautiful and articulate reminder of the constant changeability and mutability of the human condition. The 2,000 year old work is brought to new life in an intimate one-person show starring African Nova Scotian trailblazer and theatre giant, Walter Borden. This new adaptation casts an intoxicating spell: blending together Ovid’s epic poem with real-life episodes from Walter Borden's eight-plus decades of life, moving animatronic wonders from Lohifi productions (Chris Little) and live music from local songstress Hilary Adams. A world premiere from Halifax’s international award-winning 2b theatre company.
