THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI is a tale of a mysterious showman who arrives in a small European town at the time of its annual fair. He intends to amaze the crowds with a genuine somnambulist who knows the past and sees the future. That same night, a series of bizarre murders begins to take place. Francis and Alan go to see Dr. Caligari’s show, and the somnambulist Cesare predicts that Alan will be dead by dawn, which actually happens. Francis suspects that Cesare and Caligari have something to do with Alan’s death. He follows Caligari´s track to an insane asylum. When Francis goes to see the head of the asylum, he realizes that it is Caligari himself. Finally, Caligari is exposed as a madman, and Francis, helped by attendants from the asylum, arrests Caligari.
Please note that all the balcony seats at the Burton Cummings Theatre are accessible by stairs only. The first balcony is 35 steps up, and the second balcony is 65 steps up.
