Townsend describes the Retinal Circus experience:
“A retrospective of my career in music to date, with the central theme being a metaphor of how life and the adventures therein are a ‘circus’ of sorts. The show involves a cast of characters and guests that support this theme through carnival type performances. A story about how a troubled young man dreams of fantastic scenarios, (illustrated through the music of my back catalogue), which ultimately crests in the characters realization that life is all about the relationships we have with each other. This is the first opportunity I have been given to make theatrical representations of my music.”
The show is reportedly a retrospective of Townsend’s entire career, with a full choir and theatrical cast, visuals and enhancements unlike previous shows he has done. Various guests are scheduled to appear throughout the show, as well as circus, carnival performances and a cast for those segments. An art exhibit of Townsend’s albums, with full explanations of each album is also slated to be part of the experience.
