Here Lies Love: The Story of a Pop-up Building

By Fernando Sancho and David Byrne

While this book is about a specific play, we see several potential readerships, including:



• Fans of David Byrne’s work.



• People interested in the Philippines under the Marcos regime.



• People excited about a major play with an all-Asian cast.



• People drawn to the depth of photographer Fernando Sancho’s work.



The book includes a foreword by David Byrne and interviews with the cast and play director. Interesting anecdotes include:



• David Byrne frantically making a Filipino tea back stage to try to nurse his cast back to health when a cold threatened several of their singing voices.



• Byrne weeping openly during rehearsals when the cast hit all the right notes.



• The Filipino and Filipino-American cast talking about the chill of performing this play during the Duterte regimes reign of terror.



David Byrne has offered his blessing for the book, and we believe he will help promote it when the time comes. His production company is actively looking for another venue for the play, and if they find one, it will open up even more possibilities for the book.
