Art is like meditation. Guided meditation

Beautiful. I loved this song for so many years, and now seeing the original performance of it it's even better. It is sweet, it is funny, charismatic. I love you, Meredith Monk.

[@alvarovukasin1167]

does a complete visual recording of Atlas exist?

[@alvarovukasin1167]

@John Hillman why wouldn't you want it to exist?

[@Phylopn]

I'd do anything to see the entire performance of Atlas, especially Ice Demons. Please. Thanks for this footage though, absolutely stunning

This looks like the Houston production from 1991 -- am I correct? Very much enjoyed this as well as the LA Phil production a month ago.

I love you. 😍
