Marcel l’Herbier’s technically innovative and visually stunning science fiction romance centres on opera singer Claire Lescot, admired and desired by all, who falls in love with a young engineer, Einar, but will always put her art before everything, even love. When her inability to commit to the man she loves leads to a tragedy, she is forced to prove the greatness of her humanity, which she has always been afraid to reveal. We’re delighted to present a brand new restoration of this classic 1923 silent film accompanied by a live score by composer Meg Morley, one of the UK’s pre-eminent silent films accompanists who has been playing alongside silent films since 2016.
Tickets: €12 (+ €1.00 fee per ticket)
