About this event
Horror cinema’s foundational text, this iconic classic of silent-era expressionism will be taken to a new, otherworldly realm with a hypnotic and haunting original live score by acclaimed musician Circuit des Yeux, accompanied by Alan Sparhawk of Duluth indie legends Low. F.W. Murnau’s infamously unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula stars an unforgettable Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a ghoulish vampire who lures his victims to his shadowy Transylvanian castle. Authorized or not, Murnau’s spooky masterpiece remains the definitive Dracula over a hundred years (and at least as many versions) later. Circuit des Yeux’s recent albums have landed on numerous best-of-year lists, including The Wire and NPR. Her latest, Halo on the Inside, was released last year on Matador Records and received effusive praise from Pitchfork and The New York Times. “An artist who feels increasingly, thrillingly peerless” (Bandcamp Daily).
