Tao of Glass

@sohoplace Show Dates: 25 Jul 2026-12 Sep 2026

★★★★★ The Guardian ★★★★★ The Times ★★★★★ What’s On Stage ★★★★ The Telegraph ★★★★ The Observer ★★★★ The Arts Desk An exploration of life, loss and a single question: Where does true inspiration come from? Composer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott (Improbable) have worked together on acclaimed opera productions in London, New York and beyond, and Tao of Glass is their most personal collaboration yet. Inspired by a dream, this West End premiere marries ten meditations on life, death and Taoist wisdom with ten brand new pieces of music from Glass, presented by McDermott with an ensemble of musicians and puppeteers. Part-concert, part-performance, Tao of Glass is a storytelling tapestry, soundtracked by Glass’s mesmerising music and shot through with Improbable’s trademark theatricality. Produced by Factory International, Improbable and Nica Burns.
