Monumental or Godspeed You! Black Emperor Remind Me That Music Is Physical Eden Kupermintz September 22, 2016 Deep Dive, Reviews The show is called Monumental and it works like this: on a stage stand, fall, lie, scream, scratch and dance nine performers. Sometimes, on a barely visible screen behind them, words from a writer called Jenny Holzer are projected. More often, that barrier is lifted and beyond it, barely glimpsed behind its film, reside Godspeed. Mixing tracks from F # A # Infinity (yes, "Dead Flag Blues" was included, among others), Asunder, Sweet and Other Distresses and new music exclusively composed for the show, they are the soundtrack to the physical madness which slowly unfolds. Even when their music is silent, it echoes behind and below the movements of the dancers.
