The first  collaboration between the two prominent artists – Pärt and Wilson, binds the creative experience and understanding of the world of two world- renowned creators. The the emotional spectacle of sound and light is based on the Pärt’s most influential music: “Adam’s Lament”, “Tabula Rasa” and “Misere”, entwined with “Sequentiae” composed specifically for the production.
The performance had a premiere in 2015 in Tallinn.

Robert Wilson, a master of modern theatrical language and one of the main founders of avant-garde theatre, has remained on top of the international scene since his breakout production of “Einstein on the Beach” (with Philip Glass, 1976). Wilson has been awarded, among others, with a Pulitzer, two Premio Ubus, a Golden Lion from the Venice Biennale, and an Olivier Award.
