Wardrobe remix, fashion by the people for the people

Delirium front stage post

Just got back from the show and woah, again i’ve been struck by the beauty of the performance. Pretty intense visually, emotionally and music wise: these wonderful layering/transparency effects of strong images constantly projected on giant screens, addressing contemporary social issues by putting us in the shoes of a lost soul, add to this some… Continue reading Delirium front stage post
