The Surreal World of Charley Bowers (Tue 16 Jun 1930 Watershed)
Date: 16 June 2009
Location: Watershed
Time: 19:30
Improvised musical genius abounds in the latest teaming of the Alkijazz series featuring the Birdman Tony Orrell on percussion and JJ Garden from Scissor Sisters on keyboards.
They will be improvising to the work of Charley Bowers, a little-known filmmaker who directed, animated and acted in over 40 slapstick films during the 20s, 30s and 40s.
His work is unique, dark and comic, anticipating Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton. In partnership with Bristol Silents, we present a selection of his finest moments which meld the macabre and comic, the surreal and fantastical.
Presented in partnership with Bristol Silents/Slapstick Silent Comedy Festival
Tickets: £6.00/£4.50 concessions & Bristol Silents members - bristolsilents.org.uk
