U.S. Premiere

Featuring Edison Studio

"A compelling accompaniment to this silent classic. Richly layered and aggressively beautiful, this is truly a marvelous and masterly piece of work." Computer Music Journal

The Rome-based music collective Edison Studio gives a live electro-acoustic performance to accompany a screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Robert Wiene's 1919 landmark of Expressionist cinema. Composed and performed by Mauro Cardi, Luigi Ceccarelli, Fabio Cifariello Ciardi and Alessandro Cipriani, the live soundtrack uses computers, MIDI keyboards, samplers, percussion instruments and resonant sounding objects to connect with, and respond to, the expressive and symbolic world depicted in Wiene's film. Presented jointly by the Southern California Resource for Electro-Acoustic Music (SCREAM) and REDCAT.

Funded in part by CEMAT (Centri Musicali Attrezzati, Rome); SONORA, in collaboration with Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Italy; and IIC (Instituto Italiano di Cultura, Los Angeles)

REDCAT’s 16th Season: Vital Artists at a Crucial Time

REDCAT is a home for diverse artists and audiences who are interested in pushing the evolution of contemporary culture, and discovering new art forms for our complex and volatile world.

“Art is a mediator of the unspeakable,” wrote Goethe. Artists can open the mind and soul to help us comprehend beauty as well
as atrocity; vibrancy as well as anguish. Many artists at REDCAT this fall are finding creative and profound ways to do both.

In the gallery, more than 20 Iranian artists explore complex social issues, while using the rich cultural significance and beauty of flowers as a starting point. In the theater, Dutch art collective Hotel Modern, who came to REDCAT in 2015 with an astonishing performance addressing the horror of WWI, return with an acclaimed and meticulous piece commemorating the worst atrocities of WWII; choreographer David Rousséve celebrates the life of composer Billy Strayhorn, who was a gay, African-American activist more than 60 years ago, and wrote some of Duke Ellington’s most famous music; wryly funny German/UK ensemble Gob Squad works with local performers to probe definitions of “beauty” and the grace of aging; the bi-coastal trio My Barbarian finds
a way to confront economic injustice while making us laugh heartily and tap our toes to their band; and Brazilian director Christiane Jatahy merges cinema and theater to re-imagine
the themes of anguish, hope and love in Chekhov’s Three Sisters.

There is much more—ranging from adventurous music and multi-media events, to groundbreaking film and video programs. These are events you’ll want to experience, not just hear about.

We hope to see you here,
Mark Murphy
The Steven D. Lavine Executive Director of REDCAT
