Six local artists will band together to battle the zombie world when the Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society (BEAMS) co-presents Night of the Living Dead, Saturday March 23 at the Ortona Arts Armoury (9722-102 Street). Doors open at 8 p.m. for this all-ages event, which starts at 9 p.m.
The
show will consist of a silent movie version of the 1968 George Romero
horror classic Night
of the Living Dead.
Sonic suspense will be provided by experimentalists K Burwash, Damno
Te, D.N.E., Mescalin, James Parrott and Stephen Sereda from the
opening shriek to the final shot.
The
event will also adopt a drive-in format, but without cars in the
venue. Starting the show off will be filmed music videos by such
local artists as Christine Miller, m.o.a.i.n., John Oparyk and
others, interspersed with vintage footage of drive-in promotions.
Admission to the show is $10 with BEAMS members getting a discount.
