Along with releasing a HBO special documenting their high grossing On The Run tour, Jay Z and Beyoncé have also managed to give fans another visual treat inspired by their outlaw musical theme. The power couple is releasing a trilogy series entitled, Bang Bang, which follows the two escaping the law and a sense of mediocracy. Part one of the trilogy premiered on their On The Run tour.

Director Dikayl Rimmasch remembers speaking with Jay Z about the concept of the videos being more than what meets the eye. Rimmaschh told Nowness:

In my first conversation on the telephone with Jay Z he explained his concept of On the Run. He said: “We’re not trying to do this literally, it’s not that we’re Bonnie and Clyde. We’re on the run from everything. On the run from becoming a cliché. On the run from doing the same thing again.” Everything he mentioned was a level of consciousness he has for staying alive as an entertainer and as a human being. He wanted to keep it more abstract because for him it was very abstract. How do you stay new, not just to your audience but also yourself?

The On The Run HBO special will air this Saturday, Sept. 20.
