About
David Byrne explores why transformative ideas disappear and how the arts and sciences rediscover them.
David Byrne turns a new book about forgotten and rediscovered breakthroughs into an onstage conversation, drawing on a career spanning music, performance, writing and multidisciplinary art. It is a rare chance to hear the Talking Heads co-founder unpack ideas rather than perform them in a focused Tuesday-night setting.
