Symphony follows enslaved person Columbina as she toils under Dr. Pants
- a boss who is obsessed with getting rich. Pants discovers an
incantation he believes will “make him a rich man.” However, the spell
summons not gold, but a feminist witch! On the sly Columbina sips the
potion and “becomes a rich man.”
Emboldened by their new male privilege, Columbino challenges Dr.
Pants to a duel that will change both of their lives in unexpected
ways. What follows is a seriously funny exploration of identity, power,
and transformation.
