Le duo AIR interprète l’emblématique album Moon Safari dans le prestigieux Royal Albert Hall, à Londres. Un concert d’exception pour se replonger dans l’âge d’or de la French Touch.
AIR est créé en 1995 par Nicolas Godin et Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Mélange synthétique d’une électro-pop élégante et mélodique, la musique du duo versaillais a fait d’eux les stars mondiales de la French Touch. Un statut d’exception qui continue aujourd’hui encore d’auréoler nos deux hommes, dans leur carrière respective comme lors de leurs retrouvailles.
Sorti en 1998 et porté par ses tubes éternels (“Kelly Watch The Stars”, “All I Need”, “Sexy Boy”…), Moon Safari est le tout premier album de AIR. Cet opus fondateur a influencé tout un courant musical et coloré d’une richesse sonore inégalable les rêves d’une génération.
Vingt-six ans après sa publication, le duo formé par Jean-Benoît Dunckel et Nicolas Godin reprend le chemin de la scène pour jouer dans le monde entier et en intégralité cet album culte. L’un des moments forts de cet tournée est cette date dans le mythique Royal Albert Hall, point d’orgue des plus grandes carrières. Un concert d’exception dans un décor raccord.
Filmé le 31 mai 2024 au Royal Albert Hall, Londres (Royaume-Uni).

Europe is rearming. But is it rearming fast enough, and in the right way?
Dr. Bence Nemeth joins The Global Gambit to cut through the headlines on European strategic autonomy, the widening gap between Eastern ambition and Western hesitation, and what the war in Ukraine has revealed about the continent’s industrial and military shortcomings.
From Germany’s reemergence as a military power to the limits of French and British global overstretch, this is a frank assessment of where European defence actually stands — and how far it still has to go.
Dr Bence Nemeth is a Senior Lecturer in Defence Studies at King’s College London, where he teaches British and international military officers at the UK Defence Academy.

Directed by Kate Bush
Written by Kate Bush
Produced by Margarita Doyle
Starring: Kate Bush, Miranda Richardson, Lindsay Kemp
Cinematography: Roger Pratt
Edited by Julian Rodd
Music by Kate Bush
Distributed by Picture Music International
Release dates: 13 November 1993 (London Film Festival), 6 May 1994
“THE LINE, THE CROSS AND THE CURVE” is a 1993 British musical short film directed by and starring singer Kate Bush, co-starring Miranda Richardson and choreographer Lindsay Kemp, who had served as dance mentor to Bush early in her career.
The short film is essentially an extended music video, featuring songs from Bush’s 1993 album, The Red Shoes, which in turn was inspired by the classic movie musical-fantasy The Red Shoes.
In this version of the tale, Bush plays a frustrated singer-dancer who is enticed by a mysterious woman (Richardson) into putting on a pair of magical ballet slippers. Once on her feet, the shoes start dancing on their own, and Bush’s character (who is never referred to by name) must battle Richardson’s character to free herself from the spell of the shoes. Her guide on this strange journey is played by Kemp.
The film was released direct-to-video in most areas, and was only a modest success. Kate Bush later expressed her displeasure with the final product, calling it “a load of bollocks”. Soon after its release, Bush effectively dropped out of the public eye until her eighth studio album, Aerial, released in November 2005.
Two years after the UK release, due to late promotion in the US, the film was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video in 1996.
The film continues to be played in arthouse cinemas around the world, and was screened at Hollywood Theatre in 2014 along with modern dance interpretations to Bush’s music.
Plot
A singer practises with her band and a dancer (“Rubberband Girl”). After everyone else leaves, she remains in the studio and sings to herself by candlelight (“And So Is Love”).
A woman crashes through the studio’s mirror, claiming to have survived a fire, and asks the singer to help her return home by drawing symbols on three pieces of paper: a line, a cross, and a curve. In return, she offers the singer her red ballet shoes. The strange woman tells the singer that the curve represents her smile; the cross, her heart; and the line, her path. The bandages around her hands spin off, alerting the singer that something is wrong, but before she can do anything, the shoes tie themselves to her feet. The villain returns through the mirror, and a man faintly appears and gestures to the singer. She crashes through the mirror into their world (“The Red Shoes”).
The man begins acting as the singer’s guide. He is able to calm the shoes, but tells the singer that she must “sing back the symbols” to escape the villain’s power. He takes her to meet Lily, a mystic who offers her protection and advice and helps her to recover the line (“Lily”). On the guide’s advice, the singer recalls her loved ones, including some who have died, thus recovering the cross (“Moments of Pleasure”).
The villain reappears and taunts the singer, but the singer realises she is merely scared of losing her power. She chases the villain, trying to retake the three pieces of paper on which she drew. They encounter a group of people joyfully dancing on a carpet of fruits, and the singer joins them while the villain continues to flee (“Eat the Music”). After the singer collapses in happy exhaustion, the papers fly from the villain’s hand into hers, and the shoes return to the villain’s feet. The singer returns through the mirror to her own world. The villain is buried in a pile of rubble, but her feet, controlled by the shoes, emerge and continue to dance.

Footage reuse
All songs apart from “Lily” were used as promotional videos for the corresponding singles from Bush’s The Red Shoes album. The standalone video for “Eat the Music” had several differences from the film version, replacing footage of Bush and Richardson’s chase with additional dancing and singing sequences featuring Bush and new footage featuring two male dancers sparring with watermelons on their heads and of Bush having a line of black make-up applied to her cheeks.
