Performance: Koyaanisqatsi: Live with the Philip Glass Ensemble

In 1975, two visionary artists—film director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass—came together to create Koyaanisqatsi, the first film in the QATSI trilogy. Named after the Hopi word meaning “life out of balance,” Koyaanisqatsi is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of urban life and technology versus the environment. Co-presented by the Lensic and SITE SANTA FE as part of the Innovative Thinker Series, the film comes to life at the Lensic with the score performed live by the Philip Glass Ensemble.
