Das samstägliche Kulturprogramm führte uns ins Barbican Centre, einem riesigen endsiebziger Veranstaltungszentrum mit einer eigenartigen, aber durchaus spannenden Atmosphäre. Zu sehen gab es eine leicht bizarre, aber wunderschöne Multimediaperformance der Dessner-Zwillinge in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Videokünstler Matthew Ritchie. This is what "The Barbican" said: "The National’s twin brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner in collaboration with video artist Matthew Ritchie as a multimedia concert, which explores the ‘time before time’; the indivisible moment before creation is expressed.
Inspired by the ‘hero twins’ of the Mayan creation myth contained in the Popol Vuh – of which the Long Count calendar is an important part – the show presents a mythical song cycle of subtly interweaving guitars, solemn a capella, layered sound structures and scintillating rock.
The Dessners team up with a 12-strong ensemble featuring members of the Heritage Orchestra, surrounded by an impressive installation designed by Ritchie, and singers/performers Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Kelley Deal (The Breeders), plus special guest Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio)."
