Robert Wilson

Epic theatre-maker, director, designer, and sculptor, born in Waco, Texas, USA. America's most flamboyant post-modern creator of theatrical spectacle, his early training was as a painter in Texas, Paris, and New York City. In contrast with traditional theatre, he mixes a combination of movement, contemporary music, and exciting imagery. His productions, which tend to investigate history, science, and cultural identity, are often very long (The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin lasts 12 hours). His career was more active and his reputation far higher in Europe than in the USA. His work includes The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud (1969), A Letter for Queen Victoria (1974), and The CIVIL WarS (begun in 1984), one of the most ambitious theatrical events ever proposed. Later productions include Orlando (1993), Monsters of Grace (1998), Wings on a Rock (1999), and Scourge of Hyacinth (1999). In 1993 his sculpture won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale.
