Site for David Byrne/Fatboy Slim musical "Here Lies Love" live

The website for "Here Lies Love – A Song Cycle", the stage collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, is now online. The performance will debut in Austalia at the Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts on March 9.

Here Lies Love – A Song Cycle deals with the life of Imelda Marcos, co-ruler of the Philippines in the 70s and 80s, as well as the life of Estrella Cumpas, the woman who raised her. Through a series of songs written by David Byrne, with musical contributions from Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook), Here Lies Love – A Song Cycle presents Imelda Marcos meditating on events in her life, from her childhood spent in poverty and her rise to power to her ultimate departure from the palace. In particular, the production looks at the relationship between Imelda and a servant from her childhood, Estrella Cumpas, who appeared at key moments in Imelda's life.
