Feature-length documentary profile chronicling the 2008/09 'Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno' tour. The film, which includes behind-the-scenes footage of auditions, rehearsals and interviews with all the key figures involved in the tour, documents the creative process that led to the show's unique fusion of pop music and modern dance.
Modern dance and pop music can complement each other. Who knew? The performances on RRR show musicians and dancers performing together, but not always in their traditional roles. You see dancers imitating the musicians- and musicians imitating the dancers. The tension brings energy to the performances. At one point, a dancer jumps over Byrne's head! Everyone gets a chance to explain their experience- how the backup singers felt when they were asked to move, how the choreographers interpreted the songs, even how the musicians let the dancers guide their improvizations! But the video contains much more music than, well, talking heads. The songs are presented in their full length, although the video sometimes cuts between the live performance and rehearsals. If you caught the tour, you know how great it was. If you didn't catch the tour, this is the next best thing. Byrne is still in excellent voice, and he rocks that tutu!
