Janelle Monae’s visual album ‘Dirty Computer’
Starring Janelle Monae and Avengers:Infinity War actor Tessa Thompson, this dazzling visualisation of the phenomenal Janelle Monae’s concept album Dirty Computer takes us to the future where our protagonist is having her mind sterilised, but not before we’re taken through her memories, which are represented as each song on her album of the same name.
Monae calls the album an “emotion picture”, taking the viewer through an honest and striking story of a young woman who is living in a totalitarian near-future society where citizens are referred to as computers”.
The evening will also include a listening session of the Grammy nominated album after the screening of the film; while the following night also at the Cube is a special screening of Prince’s visual album, Purple Rain.
