The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari:
An Out of the Box Theatrical Experience
Join us inside Union Trust’s theater for an adaptation of the iconic 1920s silent horror film. Quantum’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari dark and twisted narrative comes to life on stage like never before, equally inspired by German Expressionism and the current political landscape.
This bold World Premiere invites you to step right up to the sinister carnival, where Dr. Caligari uses a brainwashed somnambulist to commit unspeakable crimes. Quantum’s innovative visual style, inspired by Franz Kline, compliments the audacious plot to make a perfect on-stage experience for audiences seeking a thrill. You will not want to miss this unique theatrical event where every whisper, every twist may offer you an unexpected sense of hope… or haunt you long after the curtain draws mysteriously to a close.
Starring Daniel Krell, Sara Lindsey, Nick Lehane, Jerreme Rodriguez, and Catherine Gowl.
