Cesare from The Cabinet of Dr Caligari

Live music meets silent film with ‘The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ at Quay Arts

In the midst of recovering from the brutalities of the First World War, cinema witnessed the birth of a classic. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) stands tall as the very epitome of German Expressionist filmmaking.

Director Robert Wiene painted a canvas filled with distorted sets, dark and looming shadows, and characters that send chills down your spine.

His vision, born from the collective European despair of his era, presents an eerily paranoid, surreal realm.

A symphony of old and new
Enter Chris Green with his contemporary touch. Green’s fresh musical score is a tantalising cocktail of electronic and acoustic sounds.

This auditory delight is performed live by Chris Green himself on Tuesday 24th October at Quay Arts in Newport.

His haunting composition not only resonates with the film’s tone but adds a modern spin to this silent-era gem.
