De Roovers

The Roman poet Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD) wrote this epic full of miraculous transformations of people and animals, brought about by angry, jesting or fickle gods. The De Roovers company selected several of these stories, rewrote them and performed them for children. The play elevates change and metamorphosis into a rich source of dazzling performance, powerful images, stirringly fine stories, resulting in a frankly unsettling theatre experience.
