Einstein on the Beach

Sunday evening I went to see Einstein on the beach, the four act opera written by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson. Choreography by Lucinda Childs.
The opera last more than 4 hours, but you are allowed to leave your seat and come back, as far as it is de manera silenciosa. Actually the show is so sweet that it doesn't feel that long. It's the second time I go listen to Philip Glass, and everything was again very, very, delicate and perfect. It's like eating your favorite cake, you can't even have enough. And as a cake has no story to tell, this opera also doesn't have one, which doesn't make it uninteresting.
Here are some pictures and videos.
