On Tuesday Night, FKA twigs took the stage at LA’s Palace Theater launching the start of her first international tour since 2015. This comes following the long awaited release of her new radiant single [_Cellophane_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLjqFpBh84)_,_ and an ethereal, theatrical music video to match. The transcendent song and video caused quite a buzz, being Twigs’ first musical release since 2016, and our first peek into her to upcoming second studio album.

Directed by Theo Adams and FKA twigs herself, the entire show oozed with dramatic aesthetic expression, from abstract choreography to the cleverly used industrial scaffolding set design. Twigs boasted some of her gravity defying pole-dancing skills as seen in her _Cellophane_ music video, and wowed the crowd with her range of sultry to operatic performative styles.  Photographed by Neela Choudhury - Reid ![Photographed by Neela Choudhury - Reid](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c346b607eaa09d9189a870/1557357307956-9Y4I4EXQ57HV9N51BL8T/IMG_0109.JPG) Photographed by Neela Choudhury - Reid FKA twigs continues her tour with another show tonight at the Palace Theater, two shows in New York City, and many more international dates following. * * * May 8 Los Angeles, Palace Theater May 11-12 New York, Park Avenue Armory (Red Bull Music Festival) May 24 Berlin, Admiralpalast May 28 London, Alexandra Palace May 30 Barcelona, Primavera Sound June 1 Paris, We Love Green June 9 Sydney, Carriageworks June 14 Hogart, Dark Mofo at Mac 2 Augsut 25 Brooklyn, Afropunk * * * Directed by Theo Adams and FKA twigs BAND: CY AN LJ Howe Lucinda Chua DANCERS Frankie Freeman Andrew Perez LaTonya Swann Vasco ‘VJ’ Vea CHOREOGRAPHY Tovaris Wilson Theo TJ Lowe Tap: Dominique Kelley Wushu: Adam Rae Ursell Pole: Kelly Yvonne COSTUME: Costume Designer: Ed Marler Wardrobe Mistress: Matthew Josephs PRODUCTION: Set & Lighting Design: Tobias Rylander Production Manager: Joel Eriksson Associate Director: Jordan Hunt Musical Director: CY AN Additional Score: Koreless Movement Director: Theo TJ Lowe Stage Manager: Drew Dawes Front of House Sound: Johannes Berglund Monitor: James Corbin Lighting Director: Stu Dingley Vocal Coach: Nadine Marshall
