- **Event Name**: METROPOLIS / Live: Kjetil Schjander Luhr & Kristin Bolstad w/ band
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: 🎹🎬 METROPOLIS / Live: Kjetil Schjander Luhr &amp; Kristin Bolstad w/ band
📍 Venue update:
Due to a temporary closure of Verdensteatret, this silent film concert will take place at Aurora kino Fokus (Sal 2).

The opening performance of Tromsø Silent Film Days 2026 is Fritz Lang’s legendary sci-fi classic METROPOLIS (1927), presented with a brand new original score composed by Kjetil Schjander Luhr and Kristin Bolstad and performed live by an outstanding band of musicians.

Few films have influenced science fiction as profoundly as METROPOLIS. With gigantic sets built at the UFA studios outside Berlin and a striking expressionist visual style, Lang created a haunting vision of a sterile and inhuman society of the future.

In the futuristic city of Metropolis, the dictator Fredersen attempts to provoke the workers into revolution and self-destruction with the help of the mad scientist Rotwang, who wants to replace them with robots. Rotwang kidnaps the workers’ leader Maria and replaces her with an identical robot who spreads division among the workers underground. Meanwhile, Fredersen’s son has fallen in love with the real Maria and descends into the depths of Metropolis to find her.

🎹 The Music

When Kjetil Schjander Luhr and Kristin Bolstad set out to compose new music for METROPOLIS, their idea was to playfully borrow from nearly 100 years of film and music inspired by the movie - and feed those influences back into Lang’s futuristic world.

Blade Runner, Kraftwerk, Japanese anime and even Babylon Berlin are among the ingredients simmering in this new musical interpretation.
The film is screened with English intertitles.

🎬🎹 METROPOLIS / Live: Kjetil Schjander Luhr &amp; Kristin Bolstad m/band
📍 Oppdatering av visningssted:
På grunn av midlertidig stenging av Verdensteatret vises denne stumfilmkonserten på Aurora kino Fokus (Sal 2).

Åpningsforestillingen under Tromsø Silent Film Days 2026 er Fritz Langs legendariske sci-fi-klassiker Metropolis, presentert med et helt nytt musikkverk komponert av Kjetil Schjander Luhr og Kristin Bolstad, fremført live av et band med fremragende musikere.

Få filmer har hatt større innflytelse på science fiction enn METROPOLIS. Med gigantiske kulisser bygget i UFA-studioene utenfor Berlin og et ekspresjonistisk bildespråk skapte Lang en suggererende visjon av et sterilt og umenneskelig framtidssamfunn.

I storbyen Metropolis forsøker diktatoren Fredersen å hisse opp arbeiderne til revolusjon og selvutslettelse ved hjelp av den gale vitenskapsmannen Rotwang, som ønsker å erstatte dem med roboter. Rotwang kidnapper arbeidernes lederskikkelse Maria og erstatter henne med en robot som ser helt lik ut – og som sprer splittelse blant arbeiderne under jorden. Samtidig har Fredersens sønn forelsket seg i den virkelige Maria og begir seg ned i det underjordiske Metropolis for å finne henne.

Filmen vises med engelske tekstplakater.

🎹 Musikken

Da Kjetil Schjander Luhr og Kristin Bolstad bestemte seg for å lage ny musikk til Metropolis, var ideen å låne lekent fra nesten 100 år med film og musikk inspirert av filmen – og føre disse impulsene tilbake inn i Langs futuristiske univers.

Blade Runner, Kraftwerk, japansk anime og Babylon Berlin er blant inspirasjonskildene i denne nye musikalske tolkningen.
