Gary Lucas Live With “Der Golem”
(1920, 72 min.)
Virginia Holocaust Museum, (new location at 2000 East Cary Street), 8pm
Advance tickets @ Plan 9 Music, 3012 West Cary Street – $10 adults/$7 students

Gary “Mantis” Lucas is perhaps best known for his guitar work with Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, but the versatile singer-songwriter has garnered international kudos with his latest CD, “The Edge of Heaven.”

Join us for a very special evening of film and live music as Lucas accompanies the 1920 German silent classic, “Der Golem.” Beautifully restored, “The Golem” was one of the greatest achievements of the UFA Studios and a key link in the evolution of the horror film. Widely recognized as the source of Shelley’s Frankenstein story, the ancient Hebrew myth of the creation of the Golem as a protector of the Jews in 16th century Prague translates wonderfully on screen – the creation sequence and scenes of destruction wrought by the Golem’s fury are as remarkable today as then. Directed by and starring Paul Wegener.
Gary Lucas will make an in-store appearance at Plan 9 Music on Sunday, March 30 at 5pm.
