SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series Presents: The Urania Trilogy by Tav Falco in the Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:The Urania Trilogy by Tav Falco\, with an original live score by Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra \nThe Crosstown Theater @ Crosstown Arts \nThursday\, November 20th\, 2025 \nDoors open at 6:00 pm | Show Starts at 7:00 pm \n$20 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nAlex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra\, Memphis’ most adept practitioners of the cinematic live score\, join forces with the great Tav Falco to interpret his filmic troika\, The Urania Trilogy. Shot in Austria\, the semi-silent film was “made for those hungry to submerge themselves in Orphic mysteries…It explores myth\, memory\, and identity through dreamlike structures – evoking shifting realities where the past overtakes the present\, and the present overtakes the past\, while already hurling itself into the future.” \nGreene and RHO are well-versed in scoring silent classics\, from Aelita\, Queen of Mars to The Cameraman to Häxan\, all with Greene’s original cinematic jazz compositions. The orchestra features some of Memphis’ finest players of both straight ahead and out jazz\, and includes one of the region’s premier theremin players\, Kate Tayler. \nFalco is touring the world with The Urania Trilogy\, with screenings in New York\, London\, Madrid\, and beyond. Now he brings his vision back to where it all began\, in Memphis\, where his unapproachable Panther Burns were born nearly half a century ago. Always a compelling visual artist\, Falco has\, over recent years\, perfected this mysterious film that could have been made anytime between 1927 and tomorrow. Now\, teaming up with Greene\, an erstwhile Panther Burn himself\, the film combines Falco’s vision with the power of live music and Greene’s haunting compositions.
