PETE TOWNSHEND'S: LIFEHOUSE ROCK OPERA

1 x 60’ SD
Directed by Hugo Currie & Toby Leslie
A Big Daddy Film Production

A beautiful and unique film from London’s Sadler's Wells featuring a full live rock-band and London Chamber Orchestra accompanying Pete Townshend as he stages his post-Tommy rock performance-piece, Lifehouse.

Lifehouse was originally conceived as a screenplay, forecasting a society set in the future manipulated by a government where people are controlled by information and stimulation they receive via publicly distributed "reality suits". Townshend's vision parallel's the internet and VR.

The story culminates with a hacker who cracks into the grid, enticing people outside of their homes to congregate at a rock concert with music as a positive, unifying force that has potential to save the world.

Features the original songs from the Lifehouse including Teenage Wasteland, Baba O’Riley, Won’t Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, Pure and Easy, Join Together, Relay & Let’s See Action.
