Travis Scott has finally published this Tuesday on YouTube the ambitious feature film Circus Maximus, in which the song Sirens appears, among others, with the unusual participation of the Castellers de Vilafranca. The film has already been released in some theaters in the US and some other platforms this August and lasts approximately one hour and a quarter. The participation of the castellers in the rapper’s project was already known, since it was announced around the end of July and fragments of the video even circulated, but the entire result can finally be seen.
Dressed in ‘castella’ clothes, the North American rapper is part of the group, which recorded the scenes in the Tarraco Arena Plaça, stage of the Contest of Castles in Tarragona, at the beginning of July. Los Verds appear in the first part, in the aforementioned Sirens, where the singer is seen participating in the lifting of a 4 of 9 with lining.
In addition, other gangs from Tarragona appeared that collaborated such as Castellers de Mediona, Nois de la Torre, Xiquets de Tarragona and Xiquets del Serrallo. So, you can also see scenes shot in the Barcelona neighborhood of Ciutat Meridiana. The video clip of Sirens por separado has also been published today Tuesday.
The song is part of his new album Utopia, also released this summer, and accumulates more than 85,000 views in an hour. A few days ago, the executive producer of the project, Laura Serra, from the Canada company, explained that the idea was to show the world the human towers that are being built in Catalonia. Canada contacted the Castellers de Vilafranca for this purpose and they accepted without hesitation.
Scott’s ambitious project, written and directed by himself along with directors Gaspar Noé and Nicolas Winding-Refn, is made up of many scenes/clips shot in different parts of the world. In addition to Catalonia, he has also recorded in France, Nigeria and Denmark, among other places. “It’s a kaleidoscopic exploration of the human experience and the power of soundscapes,” AMC said in the film’s synopsis. Scott hadn’t released a full album since 2018, Astroworld.
