Sound Unseen Music and Film festival presents a Live Scored screening of THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920), a silent film that will come to life with musicians performing in the room.

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.

Get Tickets now for either show, one day only at 2pm and 9pm.
