Bono

Initially framed as a ‘book tour’ to promote his autobiography Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, Bono’s first solo live appearances grew into a concept-performance within a multimedia environment.

The show incorporated songs, with live musicians reimagining U2 classics, along with a kind of ‘performed storytelling’ amid animations of his own drawings. The setting was extremely simple but conjured a huge range of emotions that never failed to connect with the audience.
