Today | Jozef van Wissem plays live score to “L’Âge d’Or”

Yupp, he’s coming for real! Jozef van Wissem will do a live score for  Luis Buñuel’s surrealist classic “L’Âge d’Or” tonight at Luru-Kino.Thanks to Bundeskunsthalle we can even screen “L’Âge d’Or” from 35mm film roll.

Jozef van Wissem live score to „L’Âge d’Or“

At the same time, van Wissem’s instrument is antique as well as extraordinary: a 24-string lute. His minmalist style of playing the baroque gadget is based on repetitive composition techniques and cyclical melodies, overlays and coloration.

Btw, today is the last day that you can buy presale tickets for Jozef van Wissem’s live score performance tomorrow. There will only be a few tickets left at the box office. You know what to do…

Posters!

Dear people, thank whoever (maybe not him) that our glue is persistent.. *hehe*

And thank us that we did not mix broken neon tubes in our glue (good old anti-Nazi strategy to keep posters hanging).. *hehe* ..anyway, the fact is: you won’t get the posters of the walls – what you can do instead: buy some of the still available, lovely screen prints! (Handsigned by Ricaletto.) They will be available at our screenings on Friday and Saturday at Luru-Kino, and Sunday at UT Connewitz.
