Häxan Live Soundtrack

Saturday, November 1st, 2014

On Saturday November 1st, 2014 @ 8PM
CFAT will present a screening of the silent film:

HAXAN – WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES

WITH LIVE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT BY ROSANNA BURRILL ON VIOLIN, TIM CROFTS ON KEYBOARD, JACKSON FAIRFAX-PERRY ON SAXOPHONE AND LUKAS PEARSE ON DOUBLE BASS.

King’s College – Alumni Hall
6350 Coburg Road, Halifax

The Wardroom, the King’s College Pub, will open it doors for an after party at 9:30PM

This is a CFAT Fundraiser, so we humbly suggest a donation of $10 (or more) to help us finish some of the renovations in our new space.

Häxan (Danish title: Heksen; English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent horror film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen’s study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th-century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films.

Le Delire Domestique

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

Exciting to contribute music, sound design, run sound cues and to perform on miniature electric bass for this finely constructed dance art.

Le délire domestique lampoons the comfort of the household with seven solos constructed like quirky, modern and poetic visions of the world of women, seven tableaux that twist the neck of clichés and of collective memory. October 22-25 2014
