Tao of Glass
A slow-burn minimalism night.
An exploration of life, loss and a single question: where does true inspiration come from? Composer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott (Improbable) collaborate on their most personal production yet. Inspired by a dream, this West End premiere marries ten meditations on life, death and Taoist wisdom with ten brand new pieces of music from Glass, presented by McDermott with an ensemble of musicians and puppeteers. Part-concert, part-performance, Tao of Glass is a storytelling tapestry, soundtracked by Glass’s mesmerising music and shot through with Improbable’s trademark theatricality.
