LAIBACH
THE SOUND OF MUSIC

// video projections

The Sound of Music was conceived when Laibach were infamously invited to perform in North Korea in 2015. The band performed several songs from the 1965 film’s soundtrack at the concert in Pyongyang, chosen as it’s a well-known and beloved film in the DPRK and often used by schoolchildren to learn English. Laibach’s Liberation Day Concerts coincided with the 70th anniversary of the Korean peninsula’s liberation from Japanese colonisation and subsequent division into two enemy states. Creative direction by Morten Traavik, Music by Laibach.
