El día de la bestia, Álex de la Iglesia + ZA!

El día de la bestia, Álex de la Iglesia, Spain, Italy, 1995, 103´ + ZA!

ZA!, the irreverent duo formed by Edu Pou and Pau Rodríguez, is celebrating its anniversary. Twenty years twisting the limits of rock, using humour, virtuosity and a lots of imagination. In this time, they have managed to shape a project that blurs the boundaries between genres, a vortex in which the apparent disorder is a programmed chaos in which everything seems to fit. Loops reign in a cocktail that combines jazz, metal, syncopated tribal rhythms and martial electronica. A pressure cooker that explodes and reaches its maximum expression in live performances that are a sonic experience.

The band will celebrate their anniversary by putting their music at the service of El día de la bestia, a hilarious and fast-paced film by Álex de la Iglesia which, three decades after its release, maintains alarmingly valid its sharp portrayal of the worst facets of contemporary society. Corruption, media manipulation and social decadence are all part of the coming apocalypse.

ZA! will perform live, during the screening of the film, their music for El día de la bestia (The Day of the Beast).

Synopsis: A priest believes he has deciphered the secret message of the Apocalypse according to St. John: the Antichrist will be born on December 25, 1995 in Madrid. To prevent the birth of the son of Satan, the priest allies with José María, a young death metal fan. Both try to find out where in Madrid the apocalyptic event will take place. With the help of Professor Cavan, the host of an esoteric and supernatural television programme, the priest and José Maria invoke the devil in a strange ceremony.
