People behind the production
David Byrne's Reasons To Be Cheerful is more than a show—it's a movement. Launched in 2018 by David Byrne, RTBC highlights real-world, copyable initiatives across education, health, civic life, science, and culture. What began as a project evolved into an online magazine and a series of engaging events that mirror Byrne's inventive spirit. On stage, his collaborative approach blends art rock, world music, and thoughtful storytelling to create unforgettable experiences.
