LUMINATO PRESENTS: ADDICTED TO BAD IDEAS: PETER LORRE'S 20th CENTURY

From Fritz Lang's M in 1931 to Roger Corman's 1963 horrorcomedy The Raven, the Hungarian-born Lorre gave cinema some of its most memorably sinister characters. His private life, too, had its dark side: a morphine addiction that bedevilled him at the height of his career. Recreating key motion picture sequences mixed with live interactive video, this spectacular multimedia punk operetta paints a vivid portrait of Lorre both as an individual and as an archetype of 20th-century alienation.
