The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Tickets: £15
Step into the nightmarish world of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), the groundbreaking silent film that defined German Expressionist cinema. With its jagged, distorted sets, unnerving characters, and haunting atmosphere, Robert Wiene’s masterpiece shaped the future of horror, film noir, and gothic cinema — yet remains unlike anything else ever made.
At a local carnival, the mysterious Dr. Caligari presents Cesare, a sleepwalker who can predict the future. But when darkness falls, Caligari’s sinister influence awakens Cesare for far more deadly deeds…
Now, this chilling tale is reborn with a brand-new live score by acclaimed composer Chris Green — a spellbinding blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live, adding an eerie new dimension to this cinematic landmark.
