stunts and the masterful composition show Keaton's unique ability to combine
physical comedy with precise storytelling.
The film
uses the luxury liner as an almost claustrophobic backdrop and becomes a visual
labyrinth of mishaps and absurdly funny situations. Keaton's innovative use of
space and timing is one of the strengths of this film, which is one of the most
famous and celebrated works of silent cinema. The Navigator remains a
showcase of Keaton's extraordinary talent and is a pinnacle of silent comedy.
With his
spectacular silent film concerts, Stephan Graf v. Bothmer fills theaters and
concert halls on five continents. He has performed at the Schleswig-Holstein
Festival and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, as well as in Berlin at the
Admiralspalast, the Wintergarten Varieté and the Berlin Cathedral, as well as
at the Rock-Pop Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet
Shop Boys.
Bothmer's
compositions are characterized by an irrepressible joy of playing and
virtuosity that combines echoes of Chopin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and
electronic music in a unique way.
