For every screening of THEDA a new musician is invited by Starr to accompany the film and play live in the cinema space. The cinema venues are also chosen to suit the spirit of the film. The first performance of THEDA was held at The Prince Charles, an old-style red velveted cinema off Leicester Square in London. On this occasion THEDA was accompanied by a 17 piece improvising orchestra. Since 2007 the film has been screened in London, New York, Toronto, Liverpool, Genova, Stockholm and Berlin. The most recent performance was in an original end-of-pier theatre in the seaside town of Bournemouth. The film was accompanied by the renowned German musician and soprano Sigune von Osten who composed a special soundtrack for her voice.
