Tabu in concert

Experience the breathtaking fusion of silent film artistry and vibrant live music in Tabu in Concert! This unforgettable event pairs F.W. Murnau’s 1930 masterpiece, *Tabu* (also known as *Taboo*), with a stunning score composed and performed by Violeta Dinescu in 1988. Journey to the idyllic island of Bora-Bora, a pristine paradise where pearl fisherman Matahi's heart belongs to the beautiful Reri. But their love is forbidden – the tribe’s chief, Hitu, has declared Reri “tabu,” dedicating her to the gods. As Matahi and Reri desperately flee to a neighboring island, they’ll confront the devastating impact of Western civilization upon their secluded corner of the world. Witness the extraordinary collaboration between Murnau and Robert Flaherty, a partnership fraught with creative tension – Flaherty departed the shoot after filming only the initial scene, leaving his mark as co-writer. A poignant tale of love, loss, and cultural collision, *Tabu in Concert* is a visual and auditory triumph, honoring a film that claimed Murnau’s life just weeks before its release, a testament to a truly ambitious and groundbreaking cinematic endeavor.
