With *Blade Runner Live*, the LAC presents a new screening experience featuring live music. Ridley Scott’s acclaimed film, which earned two Oscar nominations, is presented in the *Final Cut* version on the big screen in high definition. Vangelis’s soundtrack, a fundamental element of the film’s identity, blends electronic, ambient, and orchestral elements, helping to define one of the most recognizable soundscapes in contemporary cinema.
Performed in its entirety live for the first time, in sync with the images, the score comes to life through the interpretation of The Avex Ensemble, recreating the timbral complexity and atmospheric impact of the original soundtrack.
Set in a dystopian Los Angeles, the film follows detective Rick Deckard, tasked with hunting down a group of replicants who have escaped to Earth. The mission becomes more complicated when he meets Rachel, an enigmatic figure who challenges the boundaries between human and artificial.
Described by *Time Out* magazine as “the most immersive and tangible world ever created for cinema,” *Blade Runner* remains a landmark in science fiction and a catalyst for reflection on the relationship between technology, identity, and memory.
