Reptar have unveiled the video for their new single Sebastian directed by Deadhorse, Ben Fries and Jesse Cain – who have also created memorable promos for the likes of Kindness, Holy Ghost, and Theophilus London.
The clip combines performance footage of Reptar’s lead singer Graham Ulicny , shot from several angles simultaneously to create a surreal and cubistic effect, with living tableaus. The tableaus depict the story of Saint Sebastian, the Christian saint and martyr and earliest gay icon, who was tied to a tree and shot with arrows before ultimately being clubbed to death for his criticism of the Emperor.
