IV Festival Tiempos Modernos | Under the Mask of Pleasure – Lisandro Rodríguez

An event in which cinema is transformed into living art. In the heart of Arrecife, a jewel of silent film comes to life with the unique energy of a pianist on stage.

The Tiempos Modernos Festival invites you to an immersive cultural experience: the screening of “Under the Mask of Pleasure” (Die Freudlose Gasse, 1925, Germany), a masterpiece by G. W. Pabst that is part of the German New Objectivity movement. With its stark realism in its social themes and direct mise-en-scène, it moves away from expressionist stylisation to offer a critical and penetrating view of its time. All this, accompanied live by the prestigious pianist Lisandro Rodríguez, who composes and performs the music in real time, generating an intimate connection between image, sound and audience.

A free activity, perfect for film buffs, music lovers and seekers of in-depth cultural experiences. No tickets. No reservations. Just come, sit back and let yourself be carried away by this sensory journey into the cinematic past.
