Fritz Lang’s visionary 1927 epic Metropolis is reborn with an explosive original heavy metal score performed live by The Silent Light. Immerse yourself in a bold reimagining of this iconic film that fuses the industrial dystopia of Lang’s classic with thunderous soundscapes, amplifying the film’s timeless themes of class struggle and human ambition.
In a futuristic city sharply divided between the rich and the poor, the son of the city’s mastermind meets a prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
The Silent Light is led by multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, and filmmaker Mike Formanski. Mike has collaborated with various artists such as Moby, Gregory Porter, Lady Blackbird, Akemi Fox and Amanda Gookin. The Silent Light has written and performed scores for classic German silent films including “Nosferatu,” “Metropolis” and “Faust.”
