The four elements of nature - fire, water, air, and earth - stir, animate, recombine, and evolve as life moves through the stages of love in the bonds between mother and lover, mother and community, mother and nature, and finally mother and child.

Mariposa is a multi-artist collaboration, exploring the metamorphosis of passion, sex, pregnancy, and motherhood through dance, music, voice, and the poetry of Houston artist Sharon Olson.
