Philip Glass, David Byrne, Gavin Bryars and others - The CIVIL warS : A Tree Is Best Measured When It Is Down - Koln

Director - Robert Wilson “The CIVIL warS“ was originally conceived as six movements, created in six different countries, that once premiered in their countries of origin would then be joined together into a daylong opera for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. However, after adequate funding never surfaced for the project, the piece remained incomplete and is now known only for its five completed sections. It has never been performed whole. (very poor picture)
