ENZIAN PRESENTS A “MEET THE FILMMAKER” EVENT
FEATURING “MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSE” July 17th, 6:30 PM
Celebrate an Evening of Cinema and Blues with Musician Rita Chiarelli
Enzian presents a special, one-time engagement
of “Music From the Big House” featuring a live Q&A and concert from musician Rita
Chiarelli, widely known as Canada’s “Queen of the Blues.” In the film, Chiarelli takes a
pilgrimage to the birthplace of the blues, Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary
a.k.a. Angola Prison – what used to be the bloodiest prison in America. Her trip turns
into a historic jailhouse performance – playing with inmates serving life sentences for
murder, rape, and armed robbery. Their shared bond of music and Chiarelli’s ebullient
personality draw striking revelations from the inmates. Through voices of hope and love
of music, the convicts radiate humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness.
General Admission: $10
Student / Senior: $8
Enzian Members: $7.50
