About The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) Screening with LIVE Soundtrack
This Halloween season, immerse yourself in the eerie world of German Expressionism with a screening of this iconic film, accompanied by a LIVE, fully improvised soundtrack performed on Scotland's only Wurlitzer organ internationally acclaimed organist, Aaron Hawthorne.
In the spooky surroundings of Pollokshaws Burgh Hall, a Grade A listed Victorian building, step into the shadowy, distorted streets of a nightmarish world where reality warps and twists before your eyes, enhanced by the haunting, atmospheric sounds of the Wurlitzer organ—a rare and powerful instrument capable of summoning every sinister creak, growl, and whisper that Dr. Caligari’s tale demands. With Hawthorne's masterful improvisation, the tension will build, the fear will grip you, and the terror will unfold in real-time.
