The Caligari Experience combines cinema, physical theatre, circus, projection mapping, and a live score to present a rich, all encompassing experience for audiences. It has been presented as part of Three Palaces Film Festival in Malta after making its debut at Motion Nightclub, Bristol.
The show presents silent-cinema classic The Cabinet of Dr Caligari in a triple screen panorama, around which a custom 3D projection mapped set created by Limbic Cinema allows the scenes of the film to expand out into the space. Within this immersive setting, the cast perform, populating the film’s streets and spaces with physical theatre, circus, dance and aerial pieces that extend and explore the film’s dark, uneasy setting.
Weaving together all of these visual elements is the soundscape of Minima’s avant-garde score, synthesising electric guitar, cello, bass and drums into a fusion, which is at times psychedelic, with movements that are beautiful and haunting.
We are now taking bookings for The Caligari Experience, and are interested in creating more work that brings together cinema, circus, dance, and live music. To commission work or to book this show for your festival or venue, get in touch: [email protected]
