Another unique tour from MBM saw influential American alternative rock band Pere Ubu perform its own score to a rare screening of the 1953 classic Sci-Fi film in its original red/green anaglyphic stereoscopic 3D format.

Using a parallel, synched soundtrack technique which removes most of the original musical score while preserving the dialog, a format conceived and produced by Reality Film’s Marek Pytel, Pere Ubu generates a throbbing, dark and atmospheric replacement score which features additional dialog and voice-over narrative restored from Bradbury’s ‘lost’ script treatments.
