Porridge Radio have announced cinema screenings in November for their live performance film, ‘Pieces of Heaven Live at the Centre Pompidou’, with events in Bloomington, London and New York.
Captured at Paris’s Centre Pompidou, the film documents a one-off performance that also provided the visual source for the videos for ‘Sick Of The Blues’, ‘A Hole In The Ground’ and ‘God Of Everything Else’.
It follows the band’s fourth and final album, ‘Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me’, released via Secretly Canadian on 18th October 2024. The London screening forms part of Doc’N Roll Festival at ICA.
Conceptually led by vocalist and guitarist Dana Margolin with her sister, director Ella Margolin, and set designer Ellie Wintour, the production drew inspiration from sculptors Alexander Calder and Constantin Brâncuși. The staging featured a graveled floor, willowy pillars suspended from the ceiling, and mime artists moving among props.
On the show and its subsequent live film, Dana said: “The show at the Pompidou Centre was a huge collaboration of so many people’s work, and it is a pleasure to be able to share it finally.”
Following the screenings, the band will play a short run of UK farewell dates in December.
