Between concert and performance, the work unfolds in the museum's halls and garden. Voice, guitar, body, thread, sand, and transparent materials create a living landscape inspired by labyrinths and the metamorphoses of glass.

Directed by Alexandre Gbeblewoo, the staging traces a path of silent presences, gestures, and moving materials. Joined by guitarist Jack Ada, ANA P 480 presents a stripped-down musical set, along with Glass Skin, an original song written especially for the Glass Museum.
