The Metamorphoses are the mythical story of the birth of the world; they want to represent the whole of what can be narrated with all the strength of the images and meanings that it could possibly convey. A world where stones, plants, birds, animals, stars were created by transformations, considering humanity, nature and divinity as a space of relationship without borders.

Everything changes and nothing dies. Classic and very modern towards the relationship between humanity and nature, the text highlights the importance of considering humanity as part of a whole. Kinkaleri’s new and ambitious project for children intends to explore this world created before our eyes, literally trying to show it in its dynamic appearance. How to transform a human body into an animal, a vegetable or a god? How to describe the connection between living beings and the universe?
