Tao Of Glass in London

Coming to Soho Place Theatre from 25th July, Tao of Glass is a powerful collaboration between composer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott (Improbable) that explores life, loss, and the question of where true inspiration comes from. The West End premiere of this critically acclaimed show features ten meditations on life, death, and Taoist wisdom, set to ten brand new pieces of music from Glass. It's presented by McDermott, alongside an ensemble of musicians and puppeteers bringing this beautiful story to life.

Defying generic convention, this show is part concert and part performance, combining Glass's mesmerising, spellbinding musical score with McDermott's signature theatrical storytelling style. Praised as “An exploration of the mystery of artistic creation that's marvellously entertaining and deeply touching” (The Times) and “A reverie in real time… astonishingly original” (The Observer), this one-of-a-kind show will appeal to all those fascinated by Taoism as well as those unfamiliar with its doctrine.

Don't miss this unique theatrical experience that blends music, puppetry, and storytelling in a mesmerising exploration of life, loss, and inspiration.

Musical philosphical story-telling

Intense, insightful, inspiring. It takes some time to get into it but then its a magical walk through thinking and dreaming. Very moving. Terribly original. So pleased I spotted it on facebook.

pub bore/ geography teacher ruins sublime music

I went expecting to hear music by philip Glass and what i managed to hear was wonderful as were the musicians but the whole experience was ruined by that awful man with his never ending puerile monologue about HIMSELF . I tried to stay for the 2nd half but had to leave because i was in serious danger of shouting out some thing like 'get off you w.....r' even leaving the auditorium was stressful as his awful droning was broadcast through the speakers in the hallways. poor PG how on earth did he get himself lumbered with this self serving bore. I complete waste of my time, money and health.

A strange mix of theatre, concert, and abstract philosophy!

Interesting and amusing and creative, but felt far too long. You need to be a lover of Phillip Glass’s music as it’s played incessantly- and there are times when the “narrative” such as it is, stops, nothing much is happening on stage, and we just listen to the music. There are beautiful poetic moments and the puppetry is nicely done, but it’s not a conventional story and at times feels too much like a meandering philosophical lecture than a play. Not for everyone!

Underwhelmed

I felt the one actor was underpowered. He could. not always be heard but the general plot was messy and not really interesting. I am a fan of the work of Philip Glass but this did him no favours. I didn't think the business with the paper made it more interesting viewing, just something to distract from there not being anything else to look at. Glass's staged operas are completely absorbing but this was not.
