David Byrne: American Utopia [Princess]

Sept. 16th, 8:00pm, Original. One Night Only! Special Presentation. Tickets on sale now.

The acclaimed concert film, from director Spike Lee, is coming to cinemas for a special one-night-only showing. The event will also feature a new introduction from Byrne and will also show a never-before-seen conversation between Byrne and Lee.

"Spike Lee documents the former Talking Heads frontman’s brilliant, timely 2019 Broadway show, based on his recent album and tour of the same name.
Deeply thoughtful and wildly exuberant, David Byrne’s theatrical concert American Utopia lit up Broadway last year with Byrne’s trademark mix of rhythm and ideas. Working with a vibrant new band and dancers, the former Talking Heads frontman turned his music into an antidote to America’s current divisions. Spike Lee’s latest joint brings all this joyous stagecraft to the screen in a vital call to connect with one another, to protest injustice, and, above all, to celebrate life." - TIFF

In a 9/10 review of the film, Uncut called it “a dazzling blend of greatest-hits show, avant-garde ballet and timely political statement” and “a glorious celebration of music as unifying force, joy as an act of resistance”.
