THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI

A gruesome dance 1920! 105 years later!


Dr. Caligari! The murderer in the white coat. He seeks his medium who obeys. He is old and IT is young.

IT desires for him, IT murders for him, IT dies for him.
But it is only a bad nightmare. In truth, He wants to help us all. Because we all need his help. "I love you all!"

Our ancestors perform an eerie dance, they gesticulate and warn, but we cannot hear them...they are all mute! But the orchestra, but the orchestra...
Welcome, welcome...Cesare tells you the future.

The Babylon Orchester Berlin
will bring CESARE and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari back to life!

Written shortly after the end of the First World War, Robert Wiene's expressionist masterpiece seems like the fever dream of an era...into which we are re-entering.

Dr. Caligari exhibits a somnambulistic medium named Cesare at the fair and makes him clairvoyant. Two friends attend the performance together. One of them is murdered the following night, after Cesare had previously prophesied his death. Caligari turns out to be a madman who uses Cesare as an instrument of murder. Made shortly after the end of World War I, Robert Wiene's expressionist masterpiece seems like the fever dream of an era.
