David Byrne presents Here Lies Love – A Song Cycle, a musical about “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.” It will debut in Australia on March 9. Fatboy Slim contributes musically.
Byrne talks about his trip to the Philippines here.
