Supershock plays at DUCTAC

Italian band Supershock played for the first time in Dubai at DUCTAC on Tuesday night. The band were here as part of Italian Festival Week in the UAE to play their brand new score to the 1927 silent movie Metropolis – directed by the legendary Fritz Lang.

The audience at the Centrepoint Theatre were able to watch the classic film – which shows Lang’s grim vision of a capitalist future where workers are expendable machines – on a giant screen suspended above the stage, while the band played their amazing new score live.

It was the first time that Metropolis had been screened in the region. The film was the most expensive of it’s time and features special effects that audience members remarked had dated surprisingly little.

The band, which is based in Turin, have performed over 200 shows throughout Italy and France and received a standing ovation after their 2 hour performance at DUCTAC.
