Silent Film/Live Music: Metropolis
With the Alloy Orchestra
SOLD OUT
Please contact Candice Anderson, 860.232.1006 x118, if you have any physical accessibility needs.
Back by popular demand, the Alloy Orchestra accompany the fully restored version of Metropolis, the Fritz Lang classic dystopian epic.
25 additional minutes of footage, once thought forever lost, were discovered in Buenos Aires in 2008. Now newly restored, Metropolis is being screened in its complete form for the first time since its 1927 premiere in Berlin.
Roger Ebert calls the Alloy Orchestra "the best in the world at accompanying silent films." The three-man ensemble work with an outrageous assemblage of peculiar objects.
The group is composed of Terry Donahue (junk, accordion, musical saw, vocals), Ken Winokur (director, junk percussion and clarinet), and Roger Miller (keyboards). They have composed scores for nearly 30 silent films.
