Yid Vicious presents two command screenings of the 1920 silent film The Golem, with live musical accompaniment written by Geoff Brady. The Golem tells the centuries-old story of Rabbi Loew in 16th century Prague. Informed through supernatural means that an unseen threat faces the Jewish people of Prague, Loew creates the Golem, a mythic, massive automaton made out of clay and brought to life by the placement of a magic amulet upon his chest. The Golem protects the Jews of Prague from the imminent threat of the Emperor, but eventually, in the tradition of all such man-made movie monsters, runs terribly amok.

The live score blends traditional Klezmer influences, monster movie sound effects, and the improvisational powers of Yid Vicious. Check out the Isthmus review of the Yid Vicious Golem: http://www.thedailypage.com/isthmus/art ... icle=34478
