A work of visionary genius, Fritz Lang’s METROPOLIS remains—90 years after its debut— one of the most remarkable films of all time. Using groundbreaking special effects, Metropolis imagines a bleak future in which the working class is enslaved not only by a powerful ruling class but by technology itself. Experience this pioneering piece of cinematic history as it was meant to be seen. 

Performing from Lincoln Center to the Louvre, Alloy Orchestra, a three-man musical ensemble, utilizes an unexpected assemblage of objects to create musical accompaniment to classic silent films. With a combination of “found” percussion (some call it “a rack of junk”!) and state-of-the-art electronics, Alloy Orchestra can conjure up a Weimar-era German band or make the audience imagine it’s being swept up in a populist uprising in Czarist Russia. Don’t miss this opportunity to “hear” silent film as you never have before!
