travelandtoile: Occupy sets up outside of Lincoln Center to emphasize to the People who just viewed Satyagraha, an opera about Gandhi’s years in South Africa, and his development of nonviolent resistance, or “satyagraha” (truth force), that peaceful protest, police brutality, etc exist, and are important in this city and country, now. The police were being insane. Saw them manhandle a guy for standing and watching from the other side of the barrier! A bystander.   They were telling people they weren’t allowed to watch, and asking people not to take photos until Philip Glass and his entourage showed up.  Philip Glass, then, started speaking to the crowd or protesters!!  After Glass showed up the police seemed to calm down, despite the fact that the barrier was broken. However, the barrier was broken from the outside- the opera viewers allowed the protester into the square! Art in action.
