San Francisco Performances celebrates the 75th birthday of American composer Philip Glass with a screening of Jean Cocteau's film La Belle et la Bête, alongside a live performance of the opera score Glass composed in 1994 to accompany the film. La Belle et la Bête premiered in 1946, stunning audiences with a visual style that was unlike any they had ever seen before. Melding classical traditions with the avant-garde, Cocteau revolutionized filmmaking, inspiring future generations of directors to this day. As an homage to Cocteau's groundbreaking work as well as the composers associated with Cocteau's films, Glass created the "Cocteau Trilogy" of operas, which could serve as alternate scores to the films La Belle et la Bête, Orphee and Les Enfants Terribles. This live performance by the Philip Glass Ensemble allows you to experience Glass' score as you watch the film on the big screen. Learn More

Quotes & Highlights
- “…they step in boldly, embracing a surrealism and a funky trashiness… they look at theaters as their visual playing field where anything goes.” --SF Bay Guardian
Description
Local dance sensations Kunst-Stoff, partner with Lighthouse for the Blind to create "as we close their eyes," a singular interactive dance experience that invites audiences to "see" with other senses and to think differently about what dance can be. "In-Sight" features the company's signature airborne athleticism set against Cara Judea Alhadeff's backdrop of large, lush, unnerving photographs. Minimalist and messy, Kunst-Stoff delivers another not-to-be-missed experimental adventure.
