About

Iconoclast guitarist and fixture of New York’s downtown music scene, Marc Ribot lends his distinctive musical personality to a live score for a special screening of Charlie Chaplin’s 1921 silent masterpiece, The Kid. Ribot’s bluesy avant-roots guitar playing is instantly recognizable as the sound of Tom Waits’ albums of the 1980s and ’90s. The work tells Chaplin’s slapstick and sentimental story of an abandoned child and his adoptive father.
