FEBRUARY 4 AT THE REGISTRY THEATRE AT 8 PM.
THE VOC SILENT FILM HARMONIC PERFORMS A LIVE IMPROVISED MUSIC SCORE TO 1929 BLACK AND SILENT FILM PANDORA’S BOX.
Pandora’s Box chronicles the rise and inevitable fall of an amoral but naive young woman whose intoxicating eroticism inspires lust and violence in those around her. This 1929 Black and White silent film classic directed by G.W. Pabst made international star Louise Brooks the ‘icon’ of the Jazz Age when she starred as Lulu, the hedonistic dancer and prostitute. Pandora’s Box is based on the plays of German playwright F. Wedekind

In this unforgettable work, acclaimed novelist Lauren B. Davis has created as searing, raw and powerful a portrayal of the chaos and pain of alcoholism as we have encountered in fiction. Told with compassion, insight and an irresistible gallows humour, The Empty Room takes us to the depths of addiction, only to find a revelation at its heart: the importance and grace of one person reaching out to another.
