Flat Earth Society is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the centenary of Lubitsch’s satirical film ‘The Oyster Princess’. Almost 14 years and many international screenings later, FES will once again perform its most successful production. For this revival the exceptionally well-restored Murnau version of the film will be used. ‘The Oyster Princess’ tells the story of the hilarious marriage of the daughter of an extremely wealthy oyster magnate. It is not merely a comedy, but a pointed satire on the lifestyle of the nouveau riche. Peter Vermeersch wrote a new soundtrack to it in 2005, and this is performed live at the screening. Anyone who has already heard Vermeersch’s somewhat eccentric big band, will know that they can look forward to an evening of unpretentious and frivolous performative joy!
