Luminato 2012 had the great idea of getting together the creators of “Einstein on the Beach” for a public conversation.
I was invited, and here are the audio recording and some pics.
At $20/ticket it was a bargain and the room was packed.
Luminato secured one of the beautiful spaces in this city (the Baillie Court – Baillie of RIM fame – at the Art Gallery of Ontario) and the room was packed!
– Robert Wilson: The title Einstein on the Beach comes from adjoining Einstein with a famous 1957 novel
– Philip Glass: I loved Lucinda but I thought about working with her “she’s going to put me out of business, she is dancing without using music!”
Glass first saw Childs in a silent performance – thought it was great, but she’d put him out of a job #LMBigBang
