It is the future, and humans are divided into two groups, the thinkers who make plans (but don’t know how anything works), and the workers who achieve goals (but don’t have the vision). Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole. One man from the “thinkers” dares to visit the underground where the workers toil, and is astonished by what he sees. Join us to experience this 1927 silent film by Fritz Lang. Visual impact will be enhanced with special lighting and effects and a brilliant performance by the Rockford Dance Company.
Stay to experience Disco Paradiso immediately following the Silent Film event as our guest.
