Set in a futuristic urban dystopia, the son of the city's mastermind dares to fall in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a saviour. The live score brings the film to a modern audience within the magic of Wilton's unrivalled atmosphere, Morykit says "it's like playing a piano inside a cello".Presented byDmytro Morykit. | |

Weimar Berlin - Metropolis Live Screening - T486069108Watch Fritz Lang's sci-fi masterpiece Metropolis accompanied live by Gottfried Huppertz's score. Composer Huppertz and film director Lang were frequent partners in the creation of German cinema of the Weimar period. Their most famous collaboration was on Lang's 1927 tour de force of epic expressionist science-fiction storytelling. Set in a city of the future (in 2026), Metropolis is lauded for its imaginative flair in depicting a nightmarish mechanized-industrial future. Its warning about society, equality and the nature of the city itself reflect the instability and concerns of the Weimar age.Company Philharmonia Orchestra. Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen. | |

T1415355346German expressionist silent film, Metropolis (1927) is considered to be one of the first science fiction films. Exploring themes of political control, greed and inequality the gothic dystopian narrative still strikes a chord with contemporary audiences. Perfectly capturing the essence of silent film scores, Morykit's original composition mixes modernist minimalist influences to create an expansive and inclusive atmosphere, heightening the tension in the film. Performing his acclaimed original score to a screening of the film, pianist and composer Dmytro Morykit reveals a modern take on this classic of early cinema. Since its sell-out premiere at Wilton's in 2014, this production has toured internationally to continued acclaim. Having worked with dancers, filmmakers and written a new score for Nosferatu, Morykit here revives the work which introduced him to wider audiences.Performer Dmytro Morykit (piano). | |
