The titan Prometheus, friend of humankind, is chained by Zeus —and fastened with a spike through his chest - to a mountain as punishment for instilling in the human race the capacity for hope, thereby spoiling Zeus’s plan to wipe out the human race and replace it with something better. Prometheus’s parade of visitors includes gods, sea nymphs, and Io - a woman whom Zeus has turned into a cow. Life sized puppets will play all characters except for Prometheus and Io.
