The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920 Silent / Black & White Film) with organist Aaron HawthorneFancy watching a film where the soundtrack is composed live, in the same room as you? One hundred and four years after the release of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920 film), international, multi-award-winning organist, Aaron Hawthorne, will be terrifying audiences with his improvisational accompaniment to this spine-chilling film. Featuring the thunderous Compton pipe organ of Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre, this spooky night out is the perfect Halloween (trick or) treat!
Film Synopsis: At a carnival in Germany, Francis (Friedrich Feher) and his friend Alan (Rudolf Lettinger) encounter the crazed Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss). The men see Caligari showing off his somnambulist, Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a hypnotized man who the doctor claims can see into the future. Shockingly, Cesare then predicts Alan's death, and by morning his chilling prophecy has come true -- making Cesare the prime suspect. However, is Cesare guilty, or is the doctor controlling him?
Artist Info: Aaron Hawthorne has quickly made a name for himself as one of the UK's favourite accompanists for silent film. He has been invited to perform his improvised accompaniments across venues in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA. This is Aaron’s second UK+ silent film tour, having toured with The Phantom of the Opera (1925) in 2021, and Nosferatu (1922) in 2022, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) last year which left intergenerational audiences wowed and craving more of this “not-on-Netflix” experience.
