Description Sex object, victim or fantasy, Marilyn Monroe is known by all and
understood by few. Framed by the intimate staging of a chamber
opera and told through Monroe’s own voice and those of the men
who surrounded her, Marilyn Forever chronicles a life committed
to the pursuit of beauty and love in a world without values. In
collaboration with writer/poet Marilyn Bowering and Aventa
Ensemble, this moving narrative reveals the innate sensitivity
and burning ambition of a timeless Hollywood personality.
