Gary Lucas’s Live Score of The Golem and Post-Film Discussion with Gary and Annette Insdorf
Thursday, December
15 | 6:30 PM ET
The legend of the Golem — a person made from clay and brought to life
through kabbalistic magic in 16th century Prague to protect the
Jewish community from pogroms — is one of the most enduring stories
in Jewish mythology. The 1920 silent film The Golem: How He Came into the
World, directed by Paul Wegener and Carl Boese, is
considered the definitive version of this amazing tale. Legendary
guitarist Gary Lucas‘s original solo guitar score of The Golem
has been considered a classic since it debuted in 1989 with
co-composer and keyboardist Water Horn at the BAM Next Wave Festival.
Watch the film, with Lucas’s live guitar score. Then Annette
Insdorf, one of the foremost film historians in the
U.S., will join Gary for a discussion about his score of the film and
The
Golem’s place in cinematic history.
This event is also available as a livestream - register here.
