Event information

Kaparte Promotions presents:
Steven Severin 'Music for Silents'

Steven Severin plays a very special show in London’s Bush Hall on July 3rd. Severin, acclaimed solo artist and founder member of the legendary Siouxsie and the Banshees, will play two distinct sets, split by a short interval.

The first part of the show will see him alone onstage premiering his new score to the 1928 surrealist classic film “The Seashell and the Clergyman (La Coquille et le Clergyman)”, scripted by Antonin Artaud and directed by Germaine Dulac, which will be projected on a screen at his side.

In 1927 the British Board of Film Censors banned the film, saying “If this film has meaning, it is doubtless objectionable”.

After the interval Severin will return to the stage to play his scores to a selection of short films by modern filmmakers Aura Satz, Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet.

Steven Severin has published a collection of prose/poetry “the Twelve Revelations” and, for 5 years, released his own work and latterly that of other artists on his own label RE:

Since 2003 he has focussed on writing music for film and tv, whilst overseeing the remastering of the Banshees back catalogue, undoubtedly the most thrilling and consistent catalogue of music to define the 20 years after punk. www.stevenseverin.com
