...show opens with music, a buzzing and humming so powerful you may wonder if Glass actually commissioned 1000 airplanes to land on the roof of the theater. The music intensifies; the walls shake. No longer do you hear the music, you feel it rattling your rib cage, shaking your elbows, your knees, your thighs.
