Featuring Tom Williams as Icarus

What if Icarus traveled not to the sun but to a black hole? This 40 minute, 62 piece orchestral work is a mesmerizing adaptation of Icarus at the Edge of Time, Brian Greene’s book for children. A re-imagining of the Greek myth, which brings Einstein’s concepts of relativity to visceral, emotional life, it features a film created and directed by AL and AL, an original score by Philip Glass and script adapted by Brian Greene and David Henry Hwang.

"AL and AL’s adaption of the Icarus myth is a mutlimedia masterpiece." ABC News
