IN THE FLESH
A solo performance of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in its entirety by Murray Thorne. Murray first performed this show in 2012, which features custom imagery he created himself, specifically as a real-time large screen movie backdrop. Shows have also featured 360 degrees of eye popping concert lighting and video mapping to encircle and engage the audience, creating a sonic and visual experience like nothing ever experienced. Few performers would take on the task of playing the music from this iconic album without the help of drum machines or pre-recorded tracks, let alone solo. Blending intimacy with intensity, In The Flesh is unlike any other interpretation of the Roger Waters classic. Every show so far has ended with standing ovations from sold out crowds.
