Brian and Roger Eno's Live At The Acropolis concert film getting UK cinema release in March
Brian and Roger Eno's Live At The Acropolis concert film, recorded in 2021, is coming to UK cinemas for one night only on 2 March.
Live At The Acropolis was recorded in August 2021 at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus amphitheatre as part of the Epidaurus Festival, and marked the Eno brothers' first ever live performance together, despite having been recording together since 1983.
"I don’t perform live very often, but I couldn’t miss the chance to perform in what may be the world’s oldest theatre, located at the birthplace of Western Civilisation," Brian Eno explained. "I’m grateful to Roger, Cecily, Leo and Peter who made this rare appearance memorable for me, and to the great film-maker Tilo Krause who managed to make a beautiful documentation of the whole event."
Roger Eno added, "The performers had quite a different view to the members of the audience - they saw Brian’s stunning visuals on the ancient walls of Odeon of Herodes Atticus, whilst we saw, above our heads, the illuminated Parthenon as though floating in the blackness of night. It was an exceptional honour to perform in such a place. This film, I think, captures the moment accurately and sensitively. But it is more than a mere momento or a document - it is a work of beauty in itself that can now be shared worldwide."
Brian Eno previously shared video footage of him performing "There Were Bells" from the same concert last summer in support of his FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE album.
