"1. HAVE YOU BEEN HERE BEFORE"
"2. NO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME"
An evening with Robert Wilson
In an exceptional performance, director and artist Robert Wilson invites us into his astonishing aesthetic universe. Combining striking images from throughout his prolific career, Wilson will provide an intimate self-portrait of his creative process.
Mr. Wilson will reference his landmark original works for the stage such as "Deafman Glance", "A Letter for Queen Victoria", "Einstein on the Beach" (created with composer Philip Glass), "the CIVIL warS", and "The Black Rider", as well as his acclaimed work for the operatic and theatrical repertoire including his luminous stagings of "Madame Butterfly", Wagner's "Ring Cycle", "The Magic Flute", Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" and Heiner Mueller's "Quartett".
