Live Scored Film: The Cabinet of Dr Caligari | Pop’s Art Theater

Sound Unseen and Pop’s Art Theater presents a special screening of the 1920 film THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI with a live score. See this silent film come to life with a live performance happening during the movie! One day only on December 7th
at 2pm and 8pm

Utilizing an individually developed composition technique based on text prompts and letters, Wisconsin based musician, composer, improviser and multimedia experimental artist Barry Paul Clark (member of Field Report, Tontine Ensemble, Cathedral Becomes Tomb) has prepared a score to accompany Robert Wiene’s 1920 historic silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.” The score not only utilizes the contemporary composition technique, but calls for extensive use of improvisation, and in doing so, Barry has curated an ensemble of some of southeastern Wisconsin’s finest and most celebrated experimental/improvising musicians.
