Massive Attack / Adam Curtis

Date:

Thursday, July 11, 2013

Venue:

Mayfield Depot

Location:

Manchester, England, United Kingdom

Notes:

Adam Curtis’s film drew together threads connecting Russian punk, Jane Fonda in full aerobic flight and the legacy of pop art to illuminate the rise of the managed state; Massive Attack’s live performance provided the emotional weight. Surrounded by screens, audiences of 2,000 a night discovered that buried optimism plus bone-shaking bass made for an awesome intellectual and visceral experience. Massive Attack v Adam Curtis was staged in Mayfield Depot, a former railway station unused since 1986.

‘The marriage of the two… is inspired… It’s a Requiem Mass of sorts. This is a truly pan-sensory and exhausting experience’ The Financial Times
