The Rebel Heart Tour was the tenth worldwide concert tour by American singer Madonna, in support of her thirteenth studio album, Rebel Heart.
It started on September 9, 2015, in Montreal, Canada at the Bell Centre
and continued throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania before
concluding on March 20, 2016, in Sydney, Australia at Allphones Arena.
Warning to photosensitive viewers out there strobing may cause seizures and epileptic events.
For
those watching Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour on cable or satellite, they
get a highlighted version of Madonna's concert tour that is still
sending shockwaves through the industry and fans who viewed the event.
Anyone
who knows Madonna knows that she likes to push boundaries and the two
largest topics she explores through her concerts are religion and sex.
The Rebel Heart Tour is no different.
Rebel
Heart is a whirl wind of dancers who enact sex scenes that cross gay,
straight, bi, orgy etc on stage along with religious background visuals
that blend new and original music with splashes pop rap and metal
twists. Between the dark ritualistic performances there is quite a bit
of pole dancing, spiritual confessions, anti government, slavery, BDSM,
worship, individualism, confidence, freedom and other topics that fill
the stage.
One of the most popular
lines from her concert which caused an uproar was "Yeezus loves my pussy
best" continuing her play on blending sex and religion in one act as
she's always done. Her misuse of flags on stage and her messages of anti
war, anti government, as well as exposing celebrity guests to mock sex
acts and conversations which created plenty of buzz in social media
world.
The Rebel Heart Tour is a
whirl wind of subliminal imagery that's chaotic at best but one thing
that Madonna has embraced and very well is equality in gender. Both for
gay men and women and addressing the fact that as she encourages her
male dancers to take off their shirts for the concert viewers that a
female dancer is welcome to do the same.
Although
I still prefer her older work Madonna continues to push buttons and
cross boundaries in Rebel Heart and I must admit that as she's gotten
older her performances have improved along with the technological
advances available to her for her to express her art.
It
was a great concert with great performances but I personally only liked
a couple songs that was included in the concert. I'm not big on the
cross genre music but its whats current today and that's something that
Madonna does very well.
