For many fans and connoisseurs, Charlie Chaplin's first feature film is his most personal and best: The Kid from 1921. This autobiographically grounded tragicomedy balances laughter and compassion in an inimitable way, captivating with sentimental elements as well as slapstick gags. Thanks to the irresistible performances of Chaplin and young Jackie Coogan in his debut role, realism, romance, and phantasmagoria combine to create a great cinematic experience. Unforgettable scenes include the lesson in table manners, the fight with the bully, and the Tramp's angelic dream.

In Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin sends his most famous character, his alter ego, on a great journey across the screen one last time: the Tramp. With a razor-sharp moustache, hopelessly out-of-position feet, big eyes and a big heart. As a guinea pig, a plaything of the powers that be in an industrialised, mechanised, dehumanised world. We see him at demonstrations, on roller skates, in various professions and, in one of the most iconic scenes in film history, in a factory of giant cogwheels. And we hear the Tramp – in his last film – for the first time. In 1936, the cinema public heard Charlie Chaplin’s voice for the first time, singing a wonderful nonsense song in a restaurant in this strange hybrid of silent and sound film. Modern Times is not only a profound search for happiness and a cinematic masterpiece, but also an acoustic treat. The score, composed by Chaplin himself, brings the film to life in our mind’s eye once we have seen it. And to make this happiness possible for as many people as possible, we are playing Charlie Chaplin’s masterpiece at the Telekom Forum, conducted by Frank Strobel, one of the most important silent film specialists of our time.
