Short and Sweet<\/h2>\n

The life of the young and free-spirited Lulu is shaped by numerous relationships with men who, sooner or later, all fall for her.
\nAt first, she is the companion of the much older and wealthy journalist Dr. Sch\u00f6n, who once rescued her from the clutches of a certain Schigolch and took her off the streets.
\nWhen Sch\u00f6n decides to leave Lulu because he hopes to advance socially by marrying a minister\u2019s daughter, Lulu turns to Sch\u00f6n\u2019s son Alwa, even though his father cannot truly part from her. Sch\u00f6n then arranges for her to marry his acquaintance, the medical councillor Dr. Goll. He soon dies when he catches Lulu in flagrante with the painter Schwarz. Lulu and Schwarz subsequently marry, yet she continues her affair with Sch\u00f6n…<\/p>\n

About the film<\/h2>\n

The most famous silent film actress of the time, Asta Nielsen, plays the role of the \u201cman-devouring\u201d Lulu under the direction of theater expert Leopold Jessner. At her side is one of the best-known stage actors, Albert Bassermann. The film adaptation illustrates the effort to merge the young medium of \u201cmotion pictures\u201d with the \u201cgreat serious art of the theater.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the Music<\/h2>\n

The musical version was created in memory of the film-music dramaturgy of the silent film era. It draws on structural ideas from that time (organizing scenes, defining characters, etc.) but is a new composition, thus creating a connection between \u201cold images and new sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19957,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"pj-categs":[],"pj-tags":[88,87],"class_list":["post-19949","project","type-project","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pj-tags-kaets","pj-tags-wilfried-kaets"],"yoast_head":"\nWarning Shadows - Stummfilm-Live<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The life of the young and free-spirited Lulu is shaped by numerous relationships with men who, sooner or later, all fall for her.
