"Mr. Reggio's images haunt the viewer, accompanied by one of the most startling and original soundtracks ever written." - New York Times

Koyaanisqatsi, which means "life out of balance" in the language of Hopi Native Americans, contrasts views of the natural against the man-made, and the rural against the urban. Using slow motion and time-lapse photography, Reggio's breathtaking film turns the American landscape into a panoramic dream. This very special viewing features Philip Glass and his ensemble performing live to accompany this modern film classic.


One of the most influential musicians and composers of our time, Philip Glass worked for over three years composing the music to accompany Koyaanisqatsi and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. The music encapsulates many of the compositional innovations that have served as Glass' trademark for three decades.
