Devin Townsend‘s ambitious live event “The Retinal Circus” will be broadcast over the interview via Livemusicstage.com for a fee. The three hour plus performance will take place at The Roundhouse in London, England on October 27th.
It will feature a career spanning set; a full choir and theatrical cast; all new visual and aural enhancements; various special guests; circus and carnival performances and an art exhibit including explanations of each of his albums.
Townsend says the show will be:
“A retrospective of my career in music to date, with the central theme being a metaphor of how life and the adventures therein are a ‘circus’ of sorts. The show involves a cast of characters and guests that support this theme through carnival type performances.
A story about how a troubled young man dreams of fantastic scenarios, (illustrated through the music of my back catalogue), which ultimately crests in the characters realization that life is all about the relationships we have with each other. This is the first opportunity I have been given to make theatrical representations of my music.”
