The Adventures of Prince Achmed Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1926 | Germany | 65 min.
A German animated fairytale from 1926 and a “chamber punk” score with one foot in the world of Opera and the other in the dirty punk rock bars of Winnipeg. A wicked sorcerer tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse on a flight to his death and soars headlong into a series of wondrous adventures. Composer/performer Julia Ryckman is a classically trained opera singer and piano player and presently front-woman of post-punk rockers This Hisses, solo project Slattern, and duo Triunfo Do Gato.
