Film and Talk: Philip Glass og Lucinda Childs
Composer Philip Glass and choreographer and dancer Lucinda Childs are among the world’s leading artists and both known for their groundbreaking work.
In 1976, they created the minimalistic opera “Einstein on the Beach” in collaboration – an opera that caused sensation and which is now considered a master piece.
On the occasion of the European Capital of Culture, the two stars will take the stage together for a talk about their art. The talk is moderated by Linda Brumbach, director of Pomegranate Arts in New York.

Patrick Bensard explores the career of Lucinda Childs through interviews, some conducted at her home on Martha's Vineyard. Bensard speaks with colleagues and critics, and shows footage of rehearsals and performances featuring Childs's ground breaking choreography. Focusing on the development and innnovations of Childs's work, the film examines the influence of Merce Cunningham on Childs's early choreography; her involvement with the Judson Church movement; her minimalist style; and her collaborations with Robert Wilson, Philip Glass and Sol Le Witt.
