Noc na Karlštejně

A little-known adaptation of Jaroslav Vrchlický's play is returning to the television screen, full of humorous plots, telling the story of the courage of two women in love who, because of their love, infiltrated Karlštejn Castle, where women are forbidden to enter by order of the monarch. It was created with a number of star actors eight years before the now legendary film adaptation by Zdeněk Podskalský. When it premiered in 1965, it aroused a stormy, positive and negative response. Quite naturally, because Filip's concept of this classic play, albeit in the authentic setting of Karlštejn Castle, was completely new and unconventional at the time. This adaptation of the classic original uses the melodies of popular Czech and foreign hits with lyrics by P. Kopta. For example, the ruler's arrival at the castle was announced by the melody of the popular song Jó, třešné zrály. However, professional singers mostly sing for the actors here.

A Boy and His Soul

The award-winning story of a boy's coming of age amidst the soul music of '70's and '80's Philadelphia.

Quintessence

In winter 2023, the Spiral Spectrum project began by filming this video. The music was recorded in autumn of that year, and its first name was The Quintessence of Nostalgia. In editing process, the poem (Am Wolkenstieg song by empyrium) was also added to the music. This is a part of that poem translated into English: "Silent, softly floating Yearning to go out, out! Where summits darken and heavy On the cloud path over pale."

Anger Management

In the summer of 2023, during a trip to Gorgan, we decided to create an audio-visual project at the family garden house of our friend Aria. Soheil narrated this adventure with an old JVC camera, and the audio of this video is from the album of the "Mourners Project". The filming was done on the occasion of a solo live performance in the garden. At the time, we thought it would probably be the last time we would perform in that garden, as a long-term fraud process had led some people to attempt to confiscate the property. Although fortunately, they have not succeeded yet, and perhaps another trip to Gorgan will be an excuse for a new project. In this video, the vintage aesthetic of the Handycam is blended with the personal shots from Aria's camera. Finally, this year, on the occasion of the track "Anger Management," these images were edited together to preserve this memory of that friendly journey during the hot summer days.

弦續李克勤·港樂演唱會

Elisabeth

The show opens in the "world of the dead", where Luigi Lucheni is being interrogated by a Judge as to why he has murdered the Empress Elisabeth. Lucheni claims that he did no more than what Elisabeth herself wanted, since all her life Elisabeth has been in love with Death himself – and vice versa. As his witnesses, Lucheni brings back the dead aristocracy of the bygone era and takes us to the past, where he serves as a sarcastic narrator of the events that lead to the transformation of the sweet and innocent Sisi to the revered and infamous Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, and her decline through later years until her assassination.

A musical cartoon based on Russian romances.

El Kabong Rides Again

Butterfly and Red Pear

Written by the great librettist Tong Tik-sang, and featuring Lee Tit's elegant direction and superb performances from Yam Kim-fai and Pak Suet-sin, "Butterfly and Red Pear Blossom" brings Cantonese opera to cinematic life. The film features two lovers who have never met in person but whose poetry over three years has subtly declared their unyielding love. Yam's minimalist acting style enables her to convey dynamic passion as well as step about the stage with ease and accomplish the image of a resolute, yet gentle, scholar. Pak meanwhile defies a prime minister with pride and dignity.

Psykho III: The Musical

Psykho III: The Musical is an intriguing play on the tension between “authentic” and “pop” camp. This celebration of artifice was originally written, directed, and produced by Mark Oates as a stage musical parody following the release of Psycho II in 1983, and was performed at the East Village’s most notorious nightspot — The Pyramid Club. In 1985, after a wildly successful run, Oates reached out to longtime friend and video artist Tom Rubnitz to produce a video adaptation of the stage musical.

That's Magic!

Bolshoi Ballet: Coppélia

Swanhilda notices her fiancee Franz is infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia who sits reading on her balcony each day. Nearly breaking up the two sweethearts, Coppélia is not what she seems and Swanhilda decides to teach Franz a lesson… The Bolshoi’s unique version of Coppélia exhibits a fascinating reconstruction of the original 19th century choreography of this ebullient comedy involving a feisty heroine, a boyish fiancee with a wandering eye, and an old dollmaker. The company’s stunning corps de ballet shines in the divertissements and famous “dance of the hours,” and its principals abound in youthful energy and irresistible humor in this effervescent production.

Ballet Mariinsky Joias

Roustabout
