“The Weeknd’s 2017 world arena tour began as a folded paper airplane. It evolved from paper into a vast triangular plane of projection and lights lifting off over the crowd. The illuminated structure folded into a range of forms as the audience danced below. There was an initial cruise followed by mid-flight complications that culminated in a crash landing. The plane re-emerged from the ashes in a euphoric final sequence.”
