On Friday, September 11 at 6:30 pm in Rivera Court, The Alloy Orchestra will perform a set with a twist: the audience is invited to bring wood and metal objects that the members of the group will use to compose a percussion improvisation for found objects. This audience-participation experiment will demonstrate how the Alloy musicians coax beautiful tones and textures out of junk when creating their scores for silent films. Go to the DFT entrance by 6:00 pm to register your found object for the performance.

At 8:00 pm, the Alloy will present legendary Russian director Dziga Vertov’s classic experimental feature The Man With a Movie Camera (1929), a minute-by-minute portrait of a day in the life of a great city. Boasting innovative visual techniques that were decades ahead of their time, this amazingly powerful cinematic experience is enhanced brilliantly by the Alloy Orchestra’s stunningly vibrant score, culminating in a veritable orgy of sight and sound that leaves viewers breathless.
