Inside the Mind of Dr. Caligari 2023 Tour
This Halloween season, The Invincible Czars bring their nightmarishly fun soundtrack to the world’s first feature-length horror film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari has inspired filmmakers like Tim Burton and musicians like David Bowie with its strikingly modern visuals. Its craggy edges, disjointed backgrounds, and heavy makeup have earned this dark fairy tale a reputation as the quintessential German Expressionist film.
The Czars’ immersive live soundtrack experience transports audiences back 100+ years with a chilling, tastefully modern score featuring an impressive blend of traditional acoustic and present-day electric instruments. The Invincible Czars return for two shows to the Music Box Theatre after their sold out 2022 screening and performance of Nosferatu.
