Satyagraha
Music by Philip Glass · Libretto by Constance DeJong
Satyagraha transforms Mahatma Gandhi’s formative years in South Africa into a transcendent meditation on truth, resistance, and spiritual force. From the balcony, audiences experience Philip Glass’s sweeping score and the production’s visual architecture as a panoramic dream that reaches beyond the stage.
