Warner Theatre to Screen MAD MAX With Live Score By Morricone Youth
A one-of-a-kind film event! New York City cult favorites MORRICONE YOUTH will be performing their own live and original re-score of George Miller's 1979 masterpiece MAD MAX, setting aside the film's original soundtrack to create a completely new sonic experience at the Warner Theatre on September 20. Doors open at 7 pm, film begins at 8 pm. Tickets are $20.
The underground heroes mesh surf guitars with vintage synthesizers and frenetic drums to complement the speed and the space of the Australian landscape on screen.
Comprised of founder, guitarist, DJ and soundtrack obsessive Devon E. Levins, along with John Castro (bass and vocals), Dan Kessler (synths and keyboard), Jefferson Rabb (keyboard), Brian Kantor (drums) and Ayo Awosika (vocalist), the underground heroes create reimagined sonic textures, from Krautrock beats to the spaghetti western scores of the ensemble's namesake.
George Miller told the National Film and Sound Archive that he tried to create "a silent movie with sound" in Mad Max, so audiences for this subtitled version will experience an authentic screening with a whole new musical spin on Miller's chaotic future dystopia.
This film is rated R.
To purchase tickets, call the Warner Box Office at 860-489-7180 or visit warnertheatre.org.
