Häxan with Live Score

Prekladám do slovenčiny…

This performance will feature a live score performed by Hugo Max Benjamin Christensen’s Häxan must to be seen to be believed. Playing out as a lecture on witchcraft ‘made flesh’, the film foreshadows the found footage horror genre and features many of the most imaginatively realised and grotesque visuals of silent cinema history. My viola takes on the voice of the occult-obsessed lecturer(/director), possessed by the alluring darkness of the subject, wrestling with the film’s message of hierarchal corruption and its prevailing controversies . Please view this YouTube video for a sample of Hugo's work. Directed by Benjamin Christensen Starring Benjamin Christensen, Ella La Cour, Emmy Schønfeld 1922 · 106 min · cert 15 Screenings at Prince Charles Cinema on Thursday 22 October: 18:00 (LIVE SCORE).
