A event held at Watershed on Wednesday 7th May. The event starts at 20:30.
Björk: Cornucopia, is the highly anticipated concert film recorded live in Lisbon, which captures the celebrated artist’s groundbreaking tour that mesmerised audiences worldwide for five years.
This unique cinematic experience immerses you in Björk’s spectacular stage production, featuring a setlist spanning her iconic early works to the visionary Utopia (2017) and Fossora (2023). Showcasing bespoke instruments, including a magnetic harp, a circular flute, an aluphone, and a reverb chamber, the documentary captures the concert as Björk is joined on stage by musical director and multi-instrumentalist Bergur Þórisson, percussionist Manu Delago, flute septet Viibra, harpist Katie Buckley and the Hamrahlid choir. Digitally animated moving curtains create a modern lanterna magica for live music, transforming 21st-century VR visuals into the grandeur of a 19th-century theatre — and now into an immersive cinema experience, enhanced by meticulously crafted Dolby Atmos spatial audio.
Directed by Ísold Uggadóttir, the documentary features sound and visual creative direction, music arrangements, production, and performances by Björk and has been described as "an electrifying pop concert, art installation and opening ceremony rolled into one". (The Guardian)
