The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live accompaniment to Robert Wiene's mind bending Expressionist masterwork and Weimar classic "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."
A tale of madness and terror featuring stunning sets and art design, and arguably the first true horror film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari remains terrifying over a century after it first stalked the screen. The Flushing Remonstrance bring this classic to life with an all-new dark and chilling live score.
The Flushing Remonstrance are the duo of Catherine Cramer (percussion, electronics) and Robert Kennedy (keyboards, electronics, voice) and are NYC’s premier group devoted to performing live accompaniment to films.
