What is Tao of Glass about?

An exploration of life, loss and a single question: Where does true inspiration come from?

Tao of Glass is a storytelling tapestry, and the latest collaboration from the talented duo -  composer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott. Inspired by a dream, Glass and McDermott have created ten brand new pieces of music to accompany ten meditations on life, all  shot through with Improbable’s trademark theatricality.
