Scala Presents: Ciné-Concert

What happens when 1920s silent film collides with video game music?

Something unexpected. Something brilliant.

Clarinetist Filippo Zaccaria and pianist Aruth Masrangsan take a black-and-white Fatty Arbuckle film and score it live with music from Cuphead, the wildly popular video game known for its jazz-age animation style. It's a match that shouldn't work – vintage cinema meets modern gaming – but it absolutely does.

This duo has been selling out shows across Europe, proving that game music doesn't need a screen or a controller to captivate an audience. It just needs the right context. And the right musicians.

Cuphead's soundtrack is a love letter to 1930s big band jazz, which makes it the perfect companion to Arbuckle's slapstick comedies. Watching Filippo and Aruth perform live, you realize they're not just playing notes – they're translating the energy, the timing, the chaos of the game into something physical and immediate. It's part concert, part comedy show, part time machine.

No language barrier here. Just visuals, music, and the kind of universal humor that transcends eras.

The format:

A 20-minute ciné-concert in our intimate 24-seat studio. Doors open at 18:00. Shows run at 19:00, 20:00, and 21:00. Arrive early for drinks upstairs, stay after to process what you just experienced.
