David Byrne’s American Utopia

See Davie Byrne loud, large and in 4K for one night only here at DCA.

In his wildly popular Broadway show American Utopia, Byrne delivers an exhilarating rush of iconic songs, infectious energy and pure theatrical joy. 

Following the huge big-screen success of Stop Making Sense, and with Byrne returning to the UK this summer including a headline appearance at Latitude Festival, and a sold out show at Edinburgh's Playhouse Spike Lee transforms the celebrated production into an electrifying cinematic experience bursting with astounding performances, inventive choreography and political urgency.

Flowing like an iridescent dream vision, the film fuses work by James Baldwin, Janelle Monáe and Kurt Schwitters with exhilarating renditions of Byrne’s solo work and Talking Heads classics. 

Joyous, urgent and utterly crowd-pleasing, Byrne and his co-performers light up the screen and burn down the house.
