Synopsis: In the summer of 2015, legendary musician David Byrne staged an event at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center to celebrate the art of Color Guard: synchronized dance routines involving flags, rifles, and sabers. Recruiting performers that include the likes of St. Vincent, Nelly Furtado, Ad-Rock, and Ira Glass to collaborate on original pieces with 10 color guard teams from across the US and Canada, Contemporary Color is a beautifully filmed snapshot of a one-of-a-kind live event.

“Contemporary Color brings the audience into its celebratory world that fuses music, dance, sports and pure happiness in a way that is impossible to resist.”
-Kimber Myers, The Playlist

“A mesmerizing blend of music and motion, captured in a unique fashion by the men behind 45365 and Western.”
