The Pet Shop Boys will debut their latest project - a soundtrack to the 1925 film Battleship Potemkin - at a free show in Trafalgar Square on 12 Sep.
Confirming the open air premiere of the new mainly instrumental project, Neil Tennant told reporters: "It's wonderful to be given the opportunity to write a complete soundtrack to this classic film and then to perform it as a free concert in the heart of London".
The show will be produced by the nearby Institute Of Contemporary Arts. Their director, Philip Dodd, reckons Trafalgar Square - with its long history as the focus for political dissent in the UK - is an excellent location for this reworking of a film about a mutiny: "I'm deeply grateful to the Pet Shop Boys and all the events collaborators for their immediate recognition that Trafalgar Square is the place for re-imagining the past in terms of the needs of the present."
