ABOUT THE SHOW

Louis Feuillade’s masterpiece of silent film melodrama, Les Vampires, captured the collective fascination and anxiety of turn-of-the-century Paris, as technological advances threw the world into irrepressible anarchic motion…and the public couldn’t get enough. Robert Cucuzza whittles the 10-episode series into 95 quick-fire minutes and uses the silent films as a backdrop for a Technicolor world of anarchy, similarly steeped in crime, brutality, and technological chaos, filled with snappy dialogue and the pulsating alt-rock music of The Pixies and 1990s punk.
