Charles Chaplin: „The Circus”

Experience Charles Chaplin’s final silent masterpiece—*The Circus* (1925)—brought to life in this one-of‑a‑kind concert film. Reconstructed in 2003 by Tim Brock and paired with Chaplin’s own vaudeville‑style music, the film offers a fresh, evocative listening and viewing adventure. In a darker, tender, and melancholic tale, Chaplin’s famous Tramp stumbles into a circus, delighting audiences with his accidental comedy and falling for the director’s daughter—only to have his fortunes threatened by a rival’s sudden arrival. The picture is a tour de force of grotesque wit, razor‑sharp imagery, and daring acrobatics, a film that earned Chaplin his first Academy Award in 1929 yet remained nearly forgotten until the 1960s revival. Now, hear and watch it for the first time since its restoration, with the European Film Philharmonic bringing the silent cinema to life before your very eyes. Explore details & tickets.
