Beautiful music + giant puppets == yes! (Nb. I have not seen the opera.)

Saw it, was good. Still in atp recovery mode so my attention kinda wandered in places but it was p damn gorgeous. And I'm usually way more of a Reich guy by disposition but this & Einstein have really impressed me in performance. Kinda h8 the whole going to the opera experience tho

I was impressed that a musical about emancipation could ironically create an enslaved state for performers and audience members.

That's interesting, judging by their website I had assumed that the tour was winding down, it's in Paris in Jan too. I am so tempted.

Watching it but hope someone is capturing it so I can watch it at my leisure later. So good.

bizarre to watch it with quick cuts & close-ups. initially seems to go against the grain of the whole experience but the longer you watch, the deeper it sinks
hope this comes out

*phew*
Q - Will "Einstein" live on without you and Bob?
A - Part of the idea was to set a performance standard for the piece, and now the whole thing has been filmed -- this production. We had felt that would have to be done in order to present the piece in the future. So now, in principle, I think it can be done.

XP - On this tour you mean? Yes, possibly not on others

They do seem to be cracking through it at a fair old pace though, the site says durée 3'20" which is odd, when I saw it it was at least four hours long.

What's killing me is how it's the same people now who have been touring this for what, nearly 2 years? What does their head sound like when they go to bed at night, that poor kid.

I wonder how his skateboarding skills are coming along! When I saw the NY show I kinda laughed because he seemed unsteady. I'd imagine after X amount of performances he'd be doing ollie's off the stage by now.

Anyone got a link to a download of this? Would rather not stream it...

I actually really want to hear the fucking didgeridoo thing, but only out of morbid curiosity.
