Robert Wilson (1941, Waco)
ROBERT WILSON

In the 70s, director Robert Wilson (b. 1941, Waco) worked together with dancer and choreographer Lucinda Childs and composer Philip Glass, to make the avant-garde opera Einstein on the Beach. This portrait looks back at the collaboration. We see Lucinda Childs in REM sleep – the dream phase of our night’s sleep – and hear echoes of Einstein on the Beach in the background.
