In 1975, filmmaker Godfrey Reggio joined forces with composer Philip Glass to create Koyaanisqatsi, a non-narrative, experimental film that explores the balance between humanity, technology and the environment. This cult classic’s score is a landmark in minimalist music, hailed as one of the most influential film soundtracks of the modern era. In a rare Philadelphia appearance, the acclaimed Philip Glass Ensemble performs this thrillingly enigmatic music live, creating a powerful fusion of concert and cinema. With a message as resonant today as it was at the film’s debut, this immersive experience unfolds as a haunting, unforgettable journey.
