DESCRIPTION:\n	Digital projection. With Ossi Oswalda. The celebrated Belgia
 n 15-piece big band Flat Earth Society\, known throughout Europe for their
  raucously playful jazz style\, will present the U.S. premiere of composer
  Peter Vermeersch’s score for Ernst Lubitsch’s film comedy about an Americ
 an seafood tycoon trying to find a royal husband for his daughter. A styli
 stic leap forward for Lubitsch from his early slapstick to the visual soph
 istication he would become famous for\, The Oyster Princess is a satire of
  capitalism and royalism that takes place on extravagant sets described by
  Dave Kehr as being “posed somewhere between Expressionism and Futurism.” 
 The Guardian described the music as “twisting rapidly from theatrical bomb
 ast to tenderness\, collective improv\, mad movie-chase music and back to 
 swinging anthems.” The group will also present excerpts from their latest 
 project\, Hearsee\, an ever-mutating audiovisual montage of composed and i
 mprovised music accompanying archival film clips. \n\n\n	Flat Earth Societ
