The Lobster: Live
Bringing live string quartet into the cinema, in collaboration with Picturehouse Cinemas.
In a world first, we screen Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Lobster with live score, arranged for string quartet and piano. The almost exclusively classical, quirky soundtrack – featuring music by Beethoven, Shostakovitch and Britten amongst others – has been arranged for live performance and brings this cult film (from the director of The Favourite) to life in a totally new way.
Devised, arranged and performed by the acclaimed Solem Quartet for Solem Lates.
Autumn 2019 – Spring 2020
