THE GODDESS
A Silent Film Concert Experience
Saturday | May 23 | 7:00PM - 9:30PM
Barrymore Film Center, Fort Lee
This isn't just a movie. This isn't just a concert. It's vintage cinema × live music × old Shanghai vibes — fully immersive and utterly unforgettable.
Why You Can't Miss This:
The Goddess (1934) — Ruan Lingyu's masterpiece. A mother fighting with everything she has to protect her child. Zero dialogue. Pure expression. A performance from 90 years ago that still hits different. One night to transport you straight to the golden era of 1930s–40s Shanghai.
Program
Part I: "Celestial Music" Live musical accompaniment to the silent film × Gary Lucas on guitar
Part II: "Edge of Paradise" Chinese pop classics from the 1930s–40s Gary Lucas × Feifei Yang — together on stage with vintage Shanghai visuals projected live.
