An Evening Between Silent Film Magic and Sonic Precision

On November 20, 2026, the silent magic of silent film will meet a lively, improvised piano performance in the chamber music hall of Steingraeber & Söhne in Bayreuth. Christoph Wünsch will accompany Charley Chase's comedies Limousine Love and Dog Shy with live piano and computer-controlled piano sounds – a rare stage experience that combines film history, musical theater, and fine situational comedy in a concentrated space. The evening begins at 19:30 and runs until about 21:30.

Silent Film as Living Dramaturgy

The two two-act films from the 1920s each last about 25 minutes and belong to the genre of comedy in which Charley Chase playfully exploits the mechanics of misunderstanding. Limousine Love and Dog Shy unfold their wit through timing, body language, and the artful intensification of everyday entanglements. This is precisely the allure of this theater evening: The music comments, drives forward, contradicts, and opens spaces where the audience experiences every punchline almost physically.

Christoph Wünsch at the Piano

Prof. Dr. Christoph Wünsch, president of the Würzburg University of Music, pianist, composer, and jazz musician, focuses on improvisational freedom and precise reaction at the piano. The combination of live piano and computer-controlled piano sounds promises a unique acoustics: sometimes transparent and chamber-music-like, sometimes rhythmically sharp, always close to the gesture of the film. This creates a staging that does not rely on nostalgia but on presence in the moment.
