Ela Orleans presents her new work Apparition, a work extending from Gustave Moreau’s sketches exploring the character of Salome, followed by a live performance of her new score for Guy Maddin’s Cowards bend the knee, one of Maddin’s greatest, but least known films.

"This wild, gorgeous and almost insane new score by Ela Orleans has completely reinvented Cowards. She understood at musical levels the depths of shame, heights of hysteria, and quivering viscous kick I felt while shooting it; she drew out from the film every dark strand of soiled soul unravelling within and hung it in a new moonbeam for all the appalled to see."

Guy Maddin
