Music <live score by Circuit des Yeux - a multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter>
Join us as we witness the original NOSFERATU as never before, reimagined with with a wholly original live score by the startlingly singular and dreamily haunting Circuit des Yeux, as image and music merge to conjure a collective dream: fragile, flickering, and unforgettable – like the vampire itself, forever lingering in shadowy memory.
The pairing of Nosferatu (1922) and Circuit des Yeux—musician and composer Haley Fohr—has become a standout moment in both contemporary horror film culture and experimental music.
Known for her work as Circuit des Yeux, Fohr has crafted an original soundtrack for the landmark German Expressionist film, part of her expansive 2025–2026 project reimagining Nosferatu through her “gloomily atmospheric” sonic world. Her performance blends an avant‑garde sensibility with her extraordinary four‑octave vocal range, creating a soundscape that deepens the film’s ethereal beauty and eerie tension.
This live score is more than an accompaniment—it’s a fully realized artistic dialogue with Murnau’s imagery. Fohr’s music has been described as hypnotic, haunting, and immersive, drawing audiences into a heightened emotional and psychological space. The project also reflects a broader movement in which contemporary musicians reinterpret classic Expressionist cinema, using live performance to transform familiar films into newly atmospheric, sensory experiences.
Ultimately, the event celebrates both the enduring legacy of Nosferatu and Circuit des Yeux’s bold contribution to its ongoing cultural life. It’s not simply a screening or a concert, but a fusion of mediums that invites viewers to encounter a century‑old masterpiece through a fresh, deeply resonant lens.

THE STORY:
Wisburg, Germany-based estate agent Knock dispatches his associate, Hutter, to Count Orlok's castle in Transylvania as the Count wants to purchase an isolated house in Wisburg. They plan on selling him the one across the way from Hutter's own home. Hutter leaves his innocent wife, Ellen, with some friends while he is away. Hutter's trek is an unusual one, with many locals not wanting to take him near the castle where strange events have been occurring. Once at the castle, Hutter sells the house to Orlok, but he also notices and feels unusual occurrences, primarily feeling like there is a dark shadow hanging over him, even in daytime when Orlok is usually asleep. Hutter eventually sees the Count's sleeping chamber in a crypt, and based on a book he has recently read, believes the Count is really a vampire or Nosferatu. While Hutter is trapped in the castle, the Count, hiding in a shipment of coffins, makes his way to Wisborg, causing death along his way, which most attribute to the plague. Hutter himself tries to rush home to save his town and most importantly save Ellen from Nosferatu's imminent arrival. In Wisborg, Ellen can feel the impending darkness as Nosferatu gets closer. But she learns that a sinless woman can sacrifice herself to kill the vampire. Will Hutter be able to save Ellen, either from Nosferatu and/or her self-sacrifice?—Huggo
