Bram Stoker Festival: Nosferatu & Live Score

PG94 min

Synopsis

Nosteratu with Live Score by Rita & Robbie Perry

The first on-screen adaptation of Dracula, Nosferatu continues to haunt and terrify modern audiences. Director F.W Murnau captured on film a waking nightmare, conjuring vivid images of the occult out of dilapidated set-pieces and innocuous real-world locations alike, in this 100-year-old, famously unauthorised version of Dracula.

The original score which will accompany this screening has been a passion project for Rita Perry & Robbie Perry for its connection to Bram Stoker and its history in the evolution of Dracula’s story. Performed live, the duo’s music highlights how Stoker’s work takes shape and life over a hundred years after Dracula’s publication. In the work, the artists pay due respect to both Stoker, the original story-teller and to the cinematic vision of Murnau, celebrating the intersection of literature, cinema and music.
