In this unusual project, the music of Robert Del Naja – in a performance by Massive Attack – will be combined with the sharp, politically uncompromising perspective of filmmaker and provocateur Adam Curtis. The Kraftzentrale event will redefine the very idea of a pop concert, transforming it into what Robert Del Naja has called a »collective hallucination.« Ever since the 1991 release of their classic debut Blue Lines, Massive Attack has been one of the best and most consistently adventurous acts in the UK. Along the way, Robert Del Naja has always combined his music with his visual art. His LED installations, developed together with the art and design agency United Visual Artists, shape the band’s live performances.

Press Comments

Was die Trip-Hop-Pioniere aus Bristol akustisch erreichen, schafft Curtis visuell: Er rollt einen Teppich aus Assoziationen, in formelle Distanz verpackte Emotionen aus und saugt das Publikum in seine Welt.
