People Are Talking [and Video Booth]: Einstein on the Beach at Power Center:
I found the staging very interesting as well as some of the music. However, it was also an exercise in tedium. Glass does not know when to quit. The first dance number was interesting, but the second was dull and very repetitive. Both were composed of patterns without the dancers ever touching one another. I wonder what the connection with Einstein was — other than the violinist.
