About this plan
Einstein on the Beach, the opera Philip Glass and Robert Wilson created five decades ago, arrives in Bogotá as one of the standout events on the city's cultural calendar. The piece broke the rules of the genre by mixing minimalist music, theater, dance, and film on stage, and it remains a key reference in contemporary performing arts.
The Bogotá run is a touring version built on the production the Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires staged to wide acclaim. Martin Bauer and Rodrigo de Caso lead the direction, and the show brings together narrators, performers, a solo soprano, dancers, a choir and instrumental ensemble, and film crews that transform the stage.
If you enjoy sensory experiences outside the usual, this is a rare chance to see a landmark work of contemporary art live, with performances at the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
What to expect
- Iconic opera of musical minimalism
- International production based on the Buenos Aires version
- Mix of music, theater, dance, and live film
- Performances at Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán
- Stage run of more than four hours with intermissions
Who it's for
It suits fans of contemporary music, experimental theater, and performing arts, and also curious visitors who want a sensory experience different from traditional opera in Bogotá.
