Monday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Tonight the SILENT|LOUD film screening/concert series returns to Midrash Centro Cultural in Leblon to present the 1937 Polish film “Der Dibuk” (“The Dybbuk”) with the Brazilian experimental rock band In-sone providing live improvisational musical accompaniment during the screening.
Inspired by the early 1990’s “Loud Music with Silent Films” series held in Manhattan’s Knitting Factory and SILENT|LOUD organizers held the first Brazilian edition at Audio Rebel in Botafogo, on December 13th 2013. During the World Cup last year, they presented the 1928 silent film, “Fall of the House of Usher”, with the band Sobre a Maquina and saxophonist Alexander Zhemchuzhnikov providing accompaniment.
Performing live tonight, the Brazilian experimental rock band In-sone features Flávio Abbes on guitar, Gilberto Fortes on six-string bass and Leo Monteiro on drums. Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, the trio is known for mixing the sounds of rock, minimalist, tribal, electroacoustic and electronic music. They release their debut self-titled album in 2014 and are currently working on a follow-up album, which with be released by Quintavant later this year.
The film, “Der Dibuk,” was shot by director Michal Waszynsky on location in Poland, on eve of World War II in 1937. It is considered is a time capsule of Yiddish civilization and the screening tonight combined with In-sone performing live, promises to be a different experience, not to be missed.
