A Page of Madness is a balletic musing on our subconscious
nightmares, examining dream states in a way that is both beautiful
and highly disturbing.
As the writer Vlada Petric states, "The fact remains that historically
Kinugasa made the first full feature film whose plot development is
radically subverted, whilst its cinematic structure includes virtually
every film device known at the time."
This landmark film will be accompanied by a powerful, largely improvised
live soundtrack performance by Left Hand Right Hand, asserting itself
as music in its own right while remaining respectful of the film’s
integrity.
Left Hand Right Hand is a four piece with wide experience in creating
music for film and other media, and their radical approach has been
praised around the globe.
La Gazzetta Reggio, Italy, place them "at the sharp end of the European
avant garde", while Audio Drudge, USA, describe them as "manic drum-driven
chamber music".
This performance looks set to become a show that will lodge itself
in your memory for quite some time, so don’t be shy about getting
a seat early.
This performance is presented in conjunction with Arts Council England. |
