LIQUID ARCHITECTURE and GOETHE-INSTITUT present LUCRECIA DALT’s original live soundtrack to 1920s supernatural film, DER GOLEM.

THE GOLEM: HOW HE CAME INTO THE WORLD (Dir: Carl Boese and Paul Wegener, DE, 1920: 85mins) is a silent film, and leading example of early German Expressionism. In the Jewish ghetto in 16th Century Prague, the community leader and astrologer Rabbi Löw’s foresees doom for his people written in the stars. In an attempt to save his people, Löw creates a forbidding clay golem that he brings to life with the assistance of a demon spirit.

Colombian-born, Berlin-based LUCRECIA DALT has seen her profile as musician, sound artist and radio producer develop into high international regard. Her recorded albums - numbering seven in total, since her 2005 debut - encompass the dual worlds of intelligent avant-garde and contemporary electronic music, drawing in influences from her academic background as a civil engineer as well as music and philosophies from across the world. She has collaborated with musical kindred spirit Julia Holter and worked on podcasts for the online radio of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, on sound design installations and performative pieces for institutions such as Reina Sofia Museum and the Maisterravalbuena gallery of Madrid, in collaboration with visual artist Regina de Miguel.

LUCRECIA DALT performs in concert with Italianz, Lisa Lerkenfeldt, Shoeb Ahmad at Northcote Uniting Church Hall for Liquid Architecture on Saturday 22 June.
