Student Lecture Series: An Evening with Robert Wilson

1 Have You Been Here Before / 2 No This Is The First Time In an exceptional performance of two hours, director and artist Robert Wilson invites us into his astonishing aesthetic universe. Combining hundreds of striking images from throughout his prolific career, Wilson provides an intimate self-portrait of his creative process. Wilson references his landmark original works for the stage, such as Deafman Glance, A Letter for Queen Victoria, Einstein on the Beach (created with composer Philip Glass), The CIVIL warS, and The Black Rider, as well as his acclaimed work for the operatic and theatrical repertoire, including his luminous stagings of Madama Butterfly, Wagner’s Ring Cycle, The Magic Flute, Ibsen’s Peer Gynt and Heiner Mueller’s Quartett. At the conclusion of the performance, the audience is invited to explore Wilson’s ideas further during an informal Q&A period.

The Student Lecture Series is made possible through a generous contribution to the School of Architecture Dean’s Circle by Elise Jaffe and Jeffrey Brown. The event is free and open to the public.
