Some original onstage photos of the world’s famous theater director
Through his signature use of light, his investigations into the structure of a simple movement, and the classical rigor of his scenic and furniture design, Robert Wilson has continuously articulated the force and originality of his vision.
He is considered, by media, as the America’s or even the world’s foremost theater artist; he is an American experimental theater stage director and playwright, and he has wide-ranging professions such as choreographer, performer, painter, sculptor, video artist, and sound and lighting designer.
He thought that the most essential part of theater is light. He is concerned with how images are defined onstage, and this is relevant to the light of an object or tableau. He feels that the lighting design can really bring the production to life.
According to Wikipedia, he is best known for his collaborations with Philip Glass on Einstein on the Beach, and with numerous other artists, including Heiner Müller, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Gavin Bryars, Rufus Wainwright, Marina Abramović, Willem Dafoe, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Darryl Pinckney and Lady Gaga.
