Screening of the 1920 horror classic 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' with a live soundtrack performed on theremin, guitar and synthesizer, with proceeds benefiting Stewardship Utah.
Tycoon Machete is bringing The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Fisher Brewing Co on Wednesday, October 28. It's a pairing of a 1920 horror classic and an original live score performed on theremin, guitar, synthesizer, and other electronic instruments. The movie runs about 80 minutes, so the whole thing fits into a single evening.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a landmark of German Expressionist cinema, and it's easy to see why it's still talked about. It's famous for its surreal, distorted sets and gothic costume design, and the story itself is a critique of monstrous authoritarianism. If you've never seen it, it's one of those early silent films that still feels strange and unsettling today. The live score replaces the original silence, with the theremin and electronics filling in for the music that would have played in a theater a century ago.
The screening is presented by Fisher Brewing Co, and the proceeds go to Stewardship Utah. It's a good way to catch a piece of film history while supporting a local cause.
