The story of the iconic electronic music group Yello and the phenomenon of their 1980's hit song, exploring the song’s cultural impact and its enduring place in the American psyche.

She was a muse, model and performer – a star, dazzling and intense. Lady Shiva managed to rise from street prostitution to the top. She lived in the fast lane and died tragically young. Her dream was to become a singer. With her companions, we trace her life during a vibrant time that kindles a yearning and provokes until today. The story of a woman’s meteoric fate and a great dream. An irrepressible desire for freedom in all its beauty and destructive force - and a stirring friendship and love.

When YELLO was awarded the Kunstpreis der Stadt Zürich back in 1997, Claude Nobs, the legendary founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival, eulogised about the band, saying: "I worked as a cook and know about food. YELLO uses only fresh ingredients". In response, YELLO made a promise on stage that if they ever performed live in Switzerland, their first time would be at Nobs's festival in Montreux. Twenty years later, on July 12, 2017, YELLO kept their promise and performed at Montreux. Claude’s successor, Mathieu Jaton, announced the band simply thus: "Ils sont là. Ce soir. A Montreux. Pour vous!"

Touch Yello evokes moods, pictures and movie scenes. For the creation of this virtual concert they’re working with Kevin Blanc, a Swiss moving image designer and art director. The premiere of Touch Yello will be accompanied by live performances by the famous German jazz musician Till Brönner and singer Heidi Happy.
