Here Lies Love (Marcos Version, 2013 Off-Broadway)

The historic original 2013 world premiere Off-Broadway run of David Byrne's disco-pop political musical 'Here Lies Love' at The Public Theater reconfigured the parameters of lyric theater tracking. Moving fluidly through decades of Filipino history, the entirely through-sung narrative explores the toxic rot of martial law, populist hubris, and celebrity corruption through the eyes of the nation's ruling political dynasty. This specific "Marcos Edition" alternative marketing print focuses on the underlying historical regime struggle, tracking the early developing performances of Jose Llana as Ferdinand Marcos alongside Ruthie Ann Miles under the precise electronic vision of director Alex Timbers.
