Philip Glass + Robert Wilson Monsters of Grace WorldWide Fall 1998 / USA Spring 1999 featuring L.A. Eyeworks 3D glasses

Monsters of Grace is a new work by composer Philip Glass and director/designer Robert Wilson, the partnership that created 20th Century artistic landmark Einstein on the Beach. Using an up-to-the-minute 3D animation process (pioneered by Universal Studio theme parks) and rendered in 70mm film, Monsters of Grace explores the unlimited possibilities of light, sound and objects creating a millennium-crashing theater event. The libretto, sung in English, is from the spiritual poetry of the Thirteenth Century Persian mystic Jelaluddin Rumi and transformed into ecstatic love songs performed live by The Philip Glass Ensemble and voices. Gai and Barbara designed the l.a.Eyeworks cardboard frames, complete with l.a.Eyeworks trademark frog toe temple tips and keyhole bridge.
