Synopsis:
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Wiene, 1920) is one of the most influential silent films of Expressionist era. Our hero Francis must confront the disturbed Caligari in a world that is not quite as it seems. Who is responsible for the mysterious crimes that take place?
Only the audience can decide!
The Australian pianist/composer Ashley Hribar performs on an amplified piano, using electronics, a Moog DFAM, kick drums and various surprising “gadgets”. Experiencing Hribar is truly a spectacle in itself. Watch and hear how Ashley draws his audience into the dark depths of this quirky story, creating multi-dimensional soundscape that is both haunting and strikingly original.
Testimonials:
