FABIO FRIZZI in Concert: A Tribute to the Cinema of LUCIO FULCI.
Among the many Italian directors who enjoy cult status beyond time and our national borders, LUCIO FULCI is undoubtedly one. His fame and a certain fatal attraction to him grew exponentially during his peak career, but it even exploded after his death, among genre film enthusiasts and beyond. Many of Fulci's films have gradually become critical and commercial successes worldwide.
Now, time has passed, and the small but mighty army of Fulci's film aficionados has definitively turned their passion toward those titles that owe their appeal to a masterful blend of thriller and horror. Even figures of the caliber of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and Eli Roth have declared their unconditional admiration for the Italian master.
The brilliant soundtracks for some of Lucio Fulci's most famous films are by Fabio Frizzi: a creative and professional synergy, similar to Morricone's with Sergio Leone or Goblin's with Dario Argento. Many of Fulci's productions, particularly those related to the horror genre, feature music by the Bolognese-born, Roman-adopted composer, and Frizzi is acclaimed worldwide for this collaboration.
The undeniable popularity of those films and his long-standing affection for Fulci prompted him to launch the Frizzi 2 Fulci project in 2013, a true tribute to his friend the director's cinema. In this project, he performs, in a rock-prog concert, the most famous songs from true cult classics such as Four of the Apocalypse, Zombi 2, City of the Living Dead, and The Beyond...and You Will Live in Terror. He has been touring the world with this project for many years.
The world premiere on Halloween night 2013 at London's Union Chapel, filled to a roaring audience, was the project's first sold-out performance. Since then, numerous concerts have been held around the world, including Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and 10 US tours. Over the years, two Cineconcerts have been added to the first project: the Composer's Cut, dedicated to The Beyond and Zombi 2. Essentially, Frizzi rewrote the soundtracks to two Fulci masterpieces to perform them live with his musicians during the film screenings. A way to relive the powerful experience of Italian genre cinema in a magical and new way.
