Cindy Lauper pays tribute to Yayoi Kusama on her farewell tour

Cindy Lauper, the American singer who achieved planetary success in the 1980s with Girls just wanna have fun, for her farewell tour (the Girls just wanna have fun Farewell Tour) has decided to use the collaboration of Yayoi Kusama. Already in the first stages of the tour, which started in Canada (first date on October 18 in Montreal, followed by Toronto on the 20th: Cindy Lauper will then come to the U.S. from October 24, with the Detroit concert, while the European stages are scheduled to start in February), the audience was able to see the concert sets with the typical polka dots of the Japanese artist, whose portrait was also projected during the concert, as attested by the photos of the fans present at the two opening stages.

Likewise, the singer and the other artists accompanying her on stage wore white dresses with red polka dots coordinated with the sets, all while singing Cindy Lauper’s best-known hit. After all, the U.S. singer is a fan of Yayoi Kusama: in October 2019 she even posted photos on Instagram of her visit to the artist’s museum in Tokyo, Japan, without hiding her excitement at being in front of the works of one of her favorite artists.

However, Yayoi Kusama will not be the only artist paid tribute by Cindy Lauper. In the press release announcing the tour, the singer let it be known that there will be moments inspired by artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Refik Anadol, and several others. At each stop, Cindy Lauper will perform immersed in their creations-“a one-of-a-kind experience,” the note reads, “to be celebrated with fans on her Farewell Tour.”
