Right in the Eye – live movie-concert of Georges Melies’ films
Right in the Eye invites audiences on an extraordinary multimedia journey through the imaginative world of Georges Méliès, the legendary filmmaker and cinematographer. Created by Jean François Alcoléa, this live production showcases twelve of Méliès’ silent films, accompanied by a spellbinding live score performed by three virtuoso musicians.
Using an eclectic array of instruments—ranging from piano, guitar, and percussion to the theremin, aquaphone, and even plastic take-out lids—the music captures the technical brilliance and whimsical creativity that define Méliès’ cinematic legacy.
“It is at once inventive, elegant, and moving … right to the core!” –Chronique Festival Avignon
