The show began with a screening of the surrealist film *Un Chien Andalou* (featuring a razor blade cutting an eyeball), followed by Bowie’s entrance. The stage featured stark white fluorescent lighting against black backdrops, creating a dramatic, minimalist aesthetic. Bowie performed as his *Thin White Duke* persona, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers.
