Isis and Osiris is based on THE major myth of ancient Egypt. The first great love story in the canon, Isis and Osiris is the larger-than-life tale of sibling jealousy, lust for power, fratricide and the quest for immortality. The artistic vision of this presentation will make ancient Egypt and its mysteries vividly come to life through the dramatic expression of this passionate story of the ancient gods, in an inspired text and music.
Toronto poet Sharon Singer is the primary creator of this work which is inspired by her love of Ancient Egypt.
