Jeff Mills brings Fritz Lang’s ‘Woman In The Moon’ live to London in April 2016
Three legends unite in London for a unique cine-mix performance. Techno pioneer Jeff Mills will soundtrack the early 20th Century German sci-fi film ‘Woman In The Moon’ at London’s beloved Coronet Theatre.
Two years on from his first ever cine-mix ‘The Trip’ in London, Jeff Mills premieres Fritz Lang’s ‘Woman In
The Moon’ cine-mix on Thursday 28th April at an all-seated Coronet Theatre.
The iconic theatre, cinema
and music venue, open since 1892, is closing it’s doors in January 2017 after 140 years as a jewel in South
London’s vibrant cultural scene.
Over the past few years, the iconic techno artist has been performing his audiovisual ‘cine-mix’ sets around the world, and released a triple-CD soundtrack of ‘Woman In The Moon’ last year with Mills describing it as
‘definitely grave, structurally spacial and ubiquitous’. Deeply inhabited by science-fiction, DJ, producer and
artist Jeff Mills adopts it’s ideas, concepts, stories and aesthetics from the outset. For him, Space is an
obsession and his music appears as a musical science-fiction.
‘Woman In The Moon’ (Frau im Mond) is considered to be one of the first ‘serious’ science fiction films,
written and directed by Fritz Lang, who is one of the key figures in German expressionist cinema, most
famous for his seminal work ‘Metropolis’, and a pioneer of the science fiction and film noir genres. Based on
the novel written by his then wife Thea von Harbou, ‘Woman In The Moon’ presented the basics of rocket
travel and space exploration, 40 years before they were to become a reality, under the auspices of searching
for gold on the moon.
