It was in 1982 that the experimentally minded American director Godfrey Reggio created his film Koyaanisqatsi, which went on to gain cult status among audiences receptive to new concepts. In the language of the Hopi Indians, the word means ‘Life Out of Balance’ – which, translated into various languages, was the title used when it was distributed in Hungary and other countries at the time. The work suggestively depicts the absurdity of modern societies turning away from nature and the ancient balance of life – with neither plot nor text, but accompanied by the music of Philip Glass, which is an inseparable part of the work. The Müpa Budapest audience will now get to see and hear all this in an authentic performance by the Philip Glass Ensemble, with the Cantemus Mixed Choir, the Budapest Academic Choir Society and the Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra also taking part.
On 24 September 2024, the audience will get to hear the music from, Naqoyqatsi: Life as War (2002), the third part of the Quatsi film trilogy, performed live for the first time in Hungary by the Philip Glass Ensemble.
Presented by: Müpa Budapest
