Sit back and prepare to be amazed as three virtuoso musicians whisk you away on a peaceful, dream-like journey to the moon or beyond - a feast for the eyes and for the ears!The 'Right in the Eye' film concert is a multimedia show performed both onstage and on screen, composed of 12 films by Georges Méliès, whose works present a playful world full of wonder, fantasy, and early movie comedy.
"These cinematographic gems are a great success, judging by the way children burst out laughing when they were not enthralled by the spectacular effects." La Nouvelle République, France
It is a great way for children and their families to discover the origins of movies and also to explore the world of music, with more than 50 instruments on stage, many unusual and surprising.
With 700+ performances in 11 countries, this multi-sensory experience will open minds and hearts as it explores the many worlds created by Georges Méliès, a pioneer of cinema and the inventor of special effects in film.
"We are living in the movie world created by Georges Méliès more than a century ago, smug in the illusion that we are experiencing the very latest thing." The New York Times, USA
Running time: 75 minutes
Recommended for ages 5 and up
