Björk announces Manchester residency
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 22 March 2011
Björk will take up residency at the Campfield Market Hall in Manchester for three weeks in June and July to premiere a new show as part of this year’s Manchester International Festival, it has been announced. Entitled ‘Biophilia’, the show will play six times in the 1800 capacity venue.
What form the show will take is not exactly clear, though the MIF website says: “Where do music, nature and technology meet? Björk introduces ‘Biophilia’, her most ambitious and exciting work to date. A multimedia project encompassing music, apps, internet, installations and live shows, ‘Biophilia’ celebrates how sound works in nature, exploring the infinite expanse of the universe, from planetary systems to atomic structure”.
But don’t worry, if that all turns out to be a bit bum, she’ll also be playing some of her hits. More information here.
