CHAPLIN (arr. Timothy Brock) The Gold Rush (85’)
Charlie Chaplin’s most ambitious and successful silent comedy is presented in a gorgeous restoration with Chaplin’s own Academy Award-nominated score performed live by Ensemble 360 and friends, conducted by George Morton.
The Gold Rush follows two hapless prospectors in search of fortune during the Klondike gold rush. It features everything that made Chaplin’s name across the globe: acrobatic slapstick, poignant romance, high-octane dance and dazzling stunts. The iconic film combines riotous comedy and piercing social insight as Chaplin’s most celebrated on-screen character “the little tramp” walks the tightrope between humour and tragedy.
Packed with some of the most memorable moments from Chaplin’s films, including a dancing dinner rolls routine and a meal of a boiled shoe, combined with unprecedented technical marvels such as a cabin teetering on a cliff edge, this timeless classic was, in Chaplin’s own words, “the picture that I want to be remembered by”.
