Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde vertont von SPILL
Double bill of two classic silent horror films with new live scores by SPILL and Vicente-Dikeman-Parker-Drake
20:00 Uhr Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
John S. Robertson (USA 1920, 79 min)
Virtuoso loss of control
The elegant, venerable Dr. Jekyll creates a substance in his laboratory that brings out the evil in man and with which he transforms himself into the diminutive, malevolent Mr. Hyde. But he soon loses control of his alter ego. John S. Robertson's film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel, with the never enough praised John Barrymore in the double leading role, was already the tenth film adaptation of the material, with additional elements of Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Grey" being incorporated here. Brilliantly staged and virtuously acted are the moments when the protagonist loses control and Mr. Hyde gets the upper hand.
This early horror film is set to music by SPILL, the Berlin duo featuring German improviser Magda Mayas on piano and clavinet and Australian drummer extraordinaire Tony Buck, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Magda Mayas makes use of both the interior and exterior of the piano, using amplification, preparations and objects that become extensions of the instrument itself. Tony Buck, on the other hand, has been a staple of improvised and contemporary music for over 30 years, not least with his Australian avant-garde jazz trio The Necks.
