Join us as Music of Curiosities presents The Flushing Remonstrance performing their chilling and kaleidoscopic live score to the 1927 silent horror classic The Unknown and legendary surrealist film Un Chien Andalou.
Starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford, and directed by Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks), The Unknown is one of the great silent films, with a startling and intense performance by Chaney as Alonzo, on the run from the law and hiding out in the circus as The Armless Wonder - a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Against a background of circus life and the sinister shadow of the underworld, The Unknown is a psychosexual fever dream of love and revenge.
Un Chien Andalou is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.
Hosted by Kita St. Cyr with a special opening live music set by Gender Clown (featuring Pnk Vlvt Wtch, Prince Viper, Razor De Rockefeller & Miss Honey Boy).
One night only! Saturday, May 13, 2023. Show starts at 8:00. Tickets are $20 and available for advance purchase.
