The story of Narcissus is a timeless cautionary tale about the dangers of self-obsession. In the wild mountains of Greece, a handsome young man named Narcissus grew up admired for his beauty, yet he scorned the love of others, caring only for himself. One day, while wandering, he discovered a crystal-clear pool of water. Leaning over to drink, he was captivated by a beautiful face reflected in the water. Unaware that it was his own image, Narcissus became entranced, unable to tear himself away. He spent day after day gazing at the face he so adored, yet could never touch. Eventually, overcome by his longing, he wasted away, forever in love with a reflection he could never possess. Visual themes including Greek architecture, nature-based props such as mountains, and reflective materials representing the pool of water will bring Man In The Mirror to life on the field.

Using the idea of sinking in water as a metaphor for dealing with depression, this show is sure to impact anyone who experiences it. With the gradual sinking to the bottom and triumphant rise to the top, this show would be a great vehicle for exploring a greater and mature emotional palette with your ensemble.
