8-11pm: Devil Music Ensemble performs to "Red Heroine," a 1929 martial arts classic from China; Event will kick off with a martial arts demo by Yang Martial Arts School.
Devil Music Ensemble (www.devilmusic.org) resurrects the silent movie experience by creating a powerful sound track to the Chinese film, Red Heroine. Filmed in 1929 at the height of a martial arts craze, Red Heroine is one of the few remaining early examples of the genre. The story of revenge and redemption follows a young girl as she transforms into a warrior after her village is destroyed by marauding soldiers. Rescued by a Daoist hermit, White Monkey, our heroine learns magic and martial arts to avenge her family. With dazzling battles, sweeping landscapes, and amusing anachronisms, the film is destined to be a pulp classic. Devil Music Ensemble returns to Union Square following last year's wildly imaginative performance. This year, they will blend modern and traditional Chinese instruments giving an updated sound to this cinematic classic. Performers in the ensemble are: Tim Nylander on drums and Chinese percussion; Jonah Rapino on electric violin, vibraphone, lap steel, synthesizer, and ehru (Chinese two-string violin); and Brendon Wood on electric guitar, lap steel, synthesizer, and electric guqin (Chinese lap steel). After the screening, Devil Music Ensemble will hit the road for a coast-to-coast tour of Red Heroine.
