Part concert, part cinema, part magic, Right in the Eye is a one-of-a-kind multimedia performance that brings the whimsical world of early filmmaker Georges Méliès to life with stunning creativity. Three live musicians perform an original score using over 50 instruments—from piano and guitar to theremins, music boxes, and even plastic flying plates—while 12 of Méliès’ silent films play on screen in a dazzling blend of music, light, and shadow.More than a movie-concert, this immersive experience recreates the wonder of early cinema with inventive staging, live sound effects, and cinematic charm. A hit with audiences of all ages, Right in the Eye is accessible, imaginative, and endlessly surprising. No prior knowledge of silent film required.
Perfect for students, families, and film buffs alike, this playful journey through fantasy, sci-fi, and surreal comedy celebrates the origins of film through a modern, musical lens. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
