Goldfrapp's TALES OF US - One Night Only
Tuesday, March 25 at 9pm
The Rio Theatre is pleased to present a unique film event – and exclusive theatrical performance – for one night only
GOLDFRAPP’S TALES OF US
Doors 8:30pm / Show 9:00pm

19+ only with bar service. Please bring two pieces of ID.
Inspired by Goldfrapp’s latest album, TALES OF US, the striking film is a 30-minute journey through five of the individual stories featured on the album. Stranger, Laurel, Jo, Drew and Annabel interconnect subtly, sharing themes of love, loss, madness and identity, taking the viewer on a unique musical journey.
With only two stories having been seen previously this is an incredible exclusive opportunity to see the film Tales of Us as it was intended, as a complete journey and on the cinematic big screen, available in select locations for one night only.
British electronic duo Goldfrapp announced details of a very special TALES OF US cinema event – a worldwide screening of the stunning film TALES OF US followed immediately by an exclusive dramatic live (*recorded from March 4, 2014) performance transmitted into cinemas from the magnificent surroundings of the legendary Air Studios in London.
Cinema audiences will see the Tales Of Us film transition beautifully into a 50-minute dramatic theatrical performance by Goldfrapp including classic songs and selections from the spellbinding new album.
The Tales Of Us film was co-created by Alison Goldfrapp and director & writer Lisa Gunning (Nowhere Boy, Seven Psychopaths, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen).
Says Alison Goldfrapp, “We’re very excited to present a unique event, the Tales Of Us film alongside an intimate performance, to our fans across the world. We’ve loved touring the Tales Of Us album and can’t wait to bring our live show to local cinemas”.
