Eine Frage (nach) der Geste
“Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari” (1919)
by Robert Wiene
Live Computer Soundtrack by Edison Studio
M.Cardi, L.Ceccarelli, F.Cifariello Ciardi, A.Cipriani

One of the true musical highlights was the world premiere performance by the Edison Studio of a soundtrack to the German horror film “Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari” directed by Robert Wiene. A visually stunning film with powerful expressionist imagery, the music composed and performed by Luigi Ceccarelli, Fabio Cifariello Ciardi, Alessandro Cipriani and Mauro Cardi provided a compelling accompaniment to this silent classic.
Richly layered and aggressively beautiful, this is truly a marvelous and masterly piece of work.
