This is a seated show.

Koyaanisqatsi is a non-narrated art film released in 1982 that uses dramatic scenes of urban and rural life to show the human destruction of nature and dissolution of interpersonal relationships that can accompany it. The film was directed by Godfrey Reggio and produced by Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope. New York avant-garde composer Philip Glass wrote the soundtrack. In 2018 members of Disaster Passport working alone and together, spent 8-months writing their own score for the movie. The group only performs the project a couple of times per-year, making the live movie screening somewhat of an underground sensation. ISTHMUS picked their 2019 Bur Oak show as one of the best live performances of the year, listing it alongside concerts by Alejanndro Escovedo, Rhiannon Giddens, and John Prine. ISTHMUS music critic Marc Eisen writes, "I was knocked out by the creative audacity of Disaster Passport. They were fearless. I loved it."
