Björk performs exclusive show for Apple Music and discusses forthcoming climate-focused film, Cornucopia

In this Apple Music Live show, the Icelandic avant-garde musician, known for her boundary-pushing sound and theatrical performances, will perform Cornucopia, one of a kind digitally animated show with moving curtains, a modern lanterna magica for live music, where 21st-century VR visuals are brought into a 19th-century theatre.

The Apple Music Live: Björk setlist was arranged to celebrate Björk’s lifetime of creative innovation – taking fans on a journey through her vivid early-career compositions like “Isobel” and “Hidden Place” up to her ambitious 2017 Utopia and 2023 Fossora .

Björk sits down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for her first on-camera interview in a decade – giving fans a rare glimpse into her creative process and her new climate-focused film, Cornucopia. "It's also in the name isn't it, Cornucopia? The idea of plenty, and it is plenty, and it's an answer to the environmental problems we are in, to the patriarchy. It's a reply to a lot of problems. And the reply is, don't stop there. We have plenty. We have solutions. We can start all over again," Björk says of the inspiration behind the film.

"We can't go to an island with flutes and children, and we will maybe lose a lot of our species. Biology is strong enough to mutate, and create new creatures that will survive. And it's an optimistic thing, and biology can handle it. So it's a strange, farce-like comedy statement on all the post-apocalyptic stuff that is out there. It's a post-optimistic thing, Cornucopia. And so I fought for it. That's where my heart was, in defending that. We did have the wound, it was shining. We did have the reveal of the rawness. But there was the healing, there was the other options. We have a choice. We can still create a new Paris Climate Accord and follow it this time around."
