Robyn

Location: Field Trip Arts and Music Festival at Fort York, Toronto

"Swedish pop music veteran Robyn brought back what felt like the Electric Circus that had left Toronto in 2003. On stage, it was a scene of interesting characters and eclectic props. Robyn donned a nude coloured leotard with tufted feathers, sparkling sequences, and platform shoes to lead her high-energy dance party. She'd have dance-offs with the other dancers on stage and herself in front of a dome of mirrors. It felt like a massive outdoor Euro rave as you could lose yourself in the lengthy and instrumental heavy renditions that blended one song into another seamlessly. Later I would learn that her set consisted of almost unrecognizable live versions of her popular hits because that summer, she was premiering her newest project titled "RMX / RBN". Field Trip was one of the only three shows that saw Robyn doing interpretations of her own songs re-interpreted by other artists."
