THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (1928)
Directed by Jean Epstein with live accompaniment by Mysterium Quartet
Step into a world of shadows and sound for a one-of-a-kind Silent Sunday at the historic Orpheum Theatre. This is not your typical silent film screening — Epstein’s haunting adaptation of Poe’s Gothic tale is brought to life with a brand-new original score, composed and performed by Mysterium Quartet.
Using unconventional instruments and bold, inventive textures, the Quartet transforms this 1928 classic into an unforgettable sensory experience. The eerie atmosphere of Poe’s story meets the innovation of live experimental music — creating a performance you won’t find anywhere else.
