Metamorphoses (or A Few Ways of Keeping a Child from Running Around at His Great Uncle’s Funeral) – Mar 7-23

ABOUT

Metamorphoses (or How to Stop Your Child from Ruining Your Great Uncle’s Funeral) is a dark comic romp bursting with puppets, high anxiety, and dubious life lessons. A brand-new play crafted by Dmitry Krymov and his NYC Lab, Metamorphoses follows a beleaguered parent and his naturally restless child on a boisterous and harrowing journey, encouraging audiences to reexamine their conceptions of life, death, fear, and mourning.

Krymov Lab NYC produces design-forward theatrical presentations; develops new work and methods through rigorous improvisatory experimentation; and trains designers, directors, and actors in devised theater-making. The Lab breaks normative theater power structures, emboldening young and seasoned artists alike to create ambitious objects, characters, and moments. We aim to surprise, examine our lives, and respond to the question: What kind of art can exist in this time?
