Two Nights Only: BJÖRK: CORNUCOPIA

BJÖRK: CORNUCOPIA, the highly anticipated concert film recorded live in Lisbon, captures the celebrated artist’s groundbreaking tour that mesmerized audiences worldwide for five years. This unique cinematic experience immerses viewers in Björk’s spectacular stage production, featuring a setlist spanning from her iconic early works to the visionary “Utopia” (2017) and “Fossora” (2022). The production showcases bespoke instruments, including a magnetic harp, a circular flute, an aluphone and a reverb chamber; Björk is furthermore 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. Directed by Ísold Uggadóttir, the film features sound and visual creative direction, music arrangements, production and performance by Björk. It showcases the work of James Merry as co-creative director of visuals and original animation by Tobias Gremmler — with additional contributions from Andrew Thomas Huang, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Pierre-Alain Giraud, Nick Knight and Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones. CORNUCOPIA sees Björk pushing the boundaries of live performance, offering a visually and sonically immersive experience unlike anything seen before. RATED R
