Charlie Chaplin's The Kid is one of the great masterpieces of early cinema. In this humorous and touching film, Chaplin shows the story of the “Little Tramp,” who takes in an orphaned boy and takes care of him. With its mix of slapstick comedy and deep emotional content, The Kid showcases not only Chaplin's comedic talent, but also his ability to tackle big human themes like poverty and care with universal appeal. The film is considered a milestone in silent film comedy and is a classic that still touches audiences today.

In The Kid, Chaplin demonstrates his unique style of portraying people with humor and sensitivity. The combination of humor and profound social criticism make this film one of the most influential works in film history. It was Chaplin's first commercially successful feature-length film and paved the way for his other masterpieces. The Kid remains a timeless example of film's power to both entertain and touch.

With his spectacular silent film concerts, Stephan Graf v. Bothmer fills theaters and concert halls on five continents. He has performed at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, as well as in Berlin at the Admiralspalast, the Wintergarten Varieté and the Berlin Cathedral, as well as at the Rock-Pop Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet Shop Boys.

Bothmer's compositions are characterized by an irrepressible joy of playing and virtuosity that combines echoes of Chopin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and electronic music in a unique way.
