Screening of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' with a live shadow cast by Hoard Nation at International Bar.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is screening at International Bar on Tuesday, October 27, with a live shadow cast performing alongside the film. It's presented by Hoard Nation, so the night is more than just sitting in the dark watching a movie—the shadow cast acts out the scenes in front of the screen while the film plays, which is how most people experience the movie these days.
If you've never seen it, the story follows Brad and Janet, a naive couple whose car breaks down in the rain on their way to a wedding. They seek shelter at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a scientist from Transsexual, Planet Transvestola, who's in the middle of creating a perfect man. From there, things go south pretty quickly, and the whole thing turns into a wild, campy ride. The shadow cast adds another layer to that, acting out the parts and keeping the energy up throughout the screening.
