Saul Jaffe starts our New Year off with his show, YEAR ZERO: Tales from Ovid's Metamorphoses. As the Roman Republic founders, two gods walk the earth in human form. One represents the old world, one the new. It is a time of tortuous transition, the point at which our history pivots. Perfectly poised to capture this period of transformation there stands a witness, a storyteller: Ovid.

Metamorphoses is his collection of enduring tales about gods and mortals battling with their own physical, spiritual and emotional transformation that continues to excite and inspire something deep inside us. Brutal, beautiful and comic, these tales are familiar, yet surprising, delightful yet disturbing though one question still remains: when did we mark the end of the old era and the beginning of the new? When exactly was Year Zero? Intrigued? Come and join us for an evening of transformative tales that'll delight and disturb.
