This extraordinary event reimagines the 1920 silent film classic "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" for modern audiences, celebrating over 100 years of this iconic psychological thriller. The production features the sinister Dr. Caligari, a mysterious figure who manipulates his young medium Cesare to commit murders while claiming he only wishes to help humanity. Blending the original film's expressionistic horror with live performance, the experience transports audiences into a haunting dreamscape where ancestors perform eerie warnings and an orchestra accompanies the unfolding nightmare.
Director Anna Vavilkina resurrects this timeless masterpiece as an immersive event that bridges 1920s German cinema with contemporary theater. Audiences are invited into a surreal world where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur, with Cesare offering glimpses of the future while the distinction between victim and savior remains ambiguous. This unique production promises a chilling, avant-garde experience that celebrates the enduring genius of one of cinema's most influential horror films.
