Yeah I went with a friend, we left quite shocked. I (stupidly) was expectit of its powering a crazy Russian punk band, even knowing their history. That drug they were given sounds like hell on Earth. A water bottle hit my head and I picked it up. When I got home I was still clutching it
Yeah, the Starlings were amazing too! Were you standing at the back btw?
Was standing nearer the back than the front I suppose, close enough to clearly see the performers, the subtitles and the bottom third of the screen. Can imagine the piece would have lost quite a bit of its power and most of its meaning if you were too far back to see the subtitles on account of that pesky low ceiling. The water bottle throwing/spraying sequence was mental and highly effective I thought, maybe symbolised the violent rage against the machine felt by the victims of the regime.
Oh, and here's a picture of that lovely wee sunset on Sunday night (not pictured:starlings)
