“Charlot présente le Ballet Mécanique” – Ballet Mécanique is a 1924 avant-garde silent film by French artist Fernand Léger in collaboration with American filmaker Dudley Murphy. Starring Kiki de Montparnasse.
This is one of the earliest and best example of experimental cinema.

Claimed by the Dadaist and Cubist movements, this mad mad film is a cornucopia of fibrillating images, geometric figures, kaleidoscopic objects and so forth. All glued together with a cacophonous and bizarre music score by George Antheil.
The film was originally premiered on 24 September 1924 at the Internationale Ausstellung neuer Theatertechnik in Vienna without music accompaniment due to disagreement between the director and the composer. -
Heute geht's gleich zweimal in die Philharmonie Berlin.
Zuerst im Kammermusiksaal ein moderiertes Konzert
FROM BROADWAY TO BAUHAUS
mit Werken von #KurtWeil #GeorgeAntheil #PaulHindemith #LeonardBernstein und #MarcBlitzstein.
Und danach im großen Saal Bernsteins 2. Sinfonie und die Uraufführung der wahrscheinlich einzigen kubistischen Oper PARABOLA AND CIRCULA von Marc Blitzstein. Sie entstand 1929 und wurde tatsächlich noch nie gespielt.
