Dance and theatre became prayer and ritual in the name of the Sufi mystic poet in Robert Wilson’s new piece, Rumi. In The Blink of the Eye, and through the absolute mastery of the body of Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple, guided in Sutra by choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

An exceptional duo for a grand finale: the prophet of funk, Herbie Hancock, and the most prodigious piano talent of the new generation, Lang Lang.
