SUMMARY:Brooklyn\, NY (Einstein on the Beach)
DESCRIPTION:https://www.bam.org/music/2026/einstein-on-the-beach-50 \nEinstein on the Beach–50th Anniversary ConcertNOV 19—21\, 2026NEXT WAVEEinstein on the Beach50th Anniversary ConcertThe Philip Glass Ensemble \nThe music of the opera by Philip Glass and Robert WilsonPart of  Fall 2026 and  Next Wave 2026 \nSome artworks change history\, affecting everything that comes after them. Some change us\, altering the way we perceive the world. Einstein on the Beach does both.  \nFirst staged at BAM in 1984 and revived in 1992 and 2012\, this revolutionary work returns in a 50th Anniversary Concert presented by the artists who know it best—The Philip Glass Ensemble\, led by longtime music director Michael Riesman—with a special artistic installation by Tony and Olivier Award-winning artist and designer Es Devlin inspired by Glass’s early writings about his mesmerizing music.  \nIntroduced at the 1976 Festival d’Avignon by visionary director Robert Wilson and iconic composer Philip Glass—who hatched their collaboration after meeting at BAM in 1973—this otherworldly opera has captivated audiences with its luminosity and propulsion\, permanently rewiring the rules of storytelling\, stagecraft\, and composition. Hypnotic\, transcendent\, and unlike anything before or since\, Einstein on the Beach is an experience that demands to be met on its own terms.

SUMMARY:Berlin\, Germany (GLA55 - 10 movements to the music of Philip Glass)

In her new work\, premiering at the Berliner Festspiele\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker weaves obsessive turns\, geometric forms and early compositions by Philip Glass into a choreographic experiment suspended between trance and rigorous form. \nArtist Talkwith Anne Teresa De Keersmaekeron Friday\, 20.11.2026 after the performanceHaus der Berliner Festspiele\, Main StageIn English \nA space turns into circle and spiral; time and body into a repeating pulse. With GLA55. 10 movements to the music of Philip Glass\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker\, a pioneer of contemporary choreography\, once again invites audiences into the mechanical yet trance-like world of minimal movement. \nSix dancers from the Rosas dance company share the stage with seven members of the ensembles Ictus and Bl!ndman. Their inspiration comes from Philip Glass’s early works – Music in Contrary Motion\, Music in Fifths\, Music in Similar Motion and Music with Changing Parts. The result is a physical ritual that renders both geometry and time tangible: ellipses\, circles\, and spirals emerge as recurring figures\, the choreography condenses movement into a continuum of tension and release\, stillness and rotation. Each impulse\, each turn generates a resonance in space that draws the audience into a corporeal experience of time\, making obsessive repetition and rhythmic precision palpable. GLA55 is an experimental invocation that recalibrates the relationship between music\, space and body\, distilling minimal material to its highest intensity. Here\, bodies\, sound and rhythmic structure merge into a singular experience in which perception itself enters a subtle\, hypnotic oscillation. \nWith GLA55\, De Keersmaeker returns to a guiding principle of her practice: exhausting minimal abstract material to the limits of its possibilities. Trance-like states\, manic turns and circling movements come to the fore – choreographic gestures that have shaped her artistic signature style since Fase (1982) and the founding of the company Rosas in 1983\, and which have also been institutionalised with the establishment of the P.A.R.T.S. training center for contemporary dance in 1995. \nFor over four decades\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has developed works that rigorously explore the relationship between music\, space\, and movement. Earlier key pieces such as Asch (1980)\, Rosas danst Rosas (1983) and The Six Brandenburg Concertos (2018) exemplify her consistent use of a minimal formal language\, which in GLA55 finds a new fusion with the music of Philip Glass. \nArtistic Team \nAnne Teresa De Keersmaeker – ChoreographyBoštjan Antončič\, Niklas Capel\, Lav Crnčević\, José Paulo dos Santos\, Sunai Elbers\, Sue Yeon Youn – Co-Creation and DancePhilip Glass Music in Contrary Motion\, Music in Fifths\, Music in Similar Motion\, Music with Changing Parts – MusicIctus & Bl!ndman: Fabian Coomans\, Chryssi Dimitriou\, Aisha Orazbayeva\, Hendrik Pellens\, Jean-Luc Plouvier\, Piet Rebel\, Eric Sleichim – MusiciansMinna Tiikkainen – Lighting DesignAouatif Boulaich – CostumesWannes Gyselinck – DramaturgyAlexandre Fostier – Sound
