About the band:
The Invincible Czars are the premier silent film accompaniment group in the USA, creating original, tastefully modern live soundtracks for silent films since 2007. Hailing from Austin, TX, the Czars use music and sound to transform century-old staples of cinema history into immersive and engaging experiences that allow audiences to approach, appreciate, and enjoy the depth and innovation of classic silent film. Czars shows are a lot of fun, with opportunities for audience participation and costumery.

About the film:
The first known film adaptation of Goethe's classic novel from 1808, itself based on an older European legend, "Faust" tells the story of an elderly alchemist who makes a pact with the devil to gain the power to protect his village from plague. Faust soon succumbs to temptation and asks Mephisto to restore his youth and help him acquire all the hedonistic pleasures that earth can offer. Eventually, his love affair with a young woman named Gretchen lead to tragic and devastating consequences for them both.
