»Metropolis«
Silent film by Fritz Lang
with live music by Jeff Beal (world premiere)

Almost 100 years ago, Fritz Lang's Metropolis confronted moviegoers with a dystopian view of an imaginary future: In a futuristic city, people live in two strictly separated classes, the workers and the rich; they are kept in check by a totalitarian power apparatus, robots replace humans, the machine threatens their existence – themes that have not lost their relevance. New music for the film comes from American composer Jeff Beal, creator of numerous soundtracks, including House of Cards and Monk, whose rich musical experiences as a jazzer, classical musician, and composer have been infused into it.
