Alcoléa & cie: Right in the Eye
Fri, Jan 23 @ 10:30 AM | All ages
Live music blends with classic film in this movie-concert by France’s Alcoléa & cie. A Philadelphia debut, Right in the Eye celebrates Georges Méliès, a pioneer of the cinema and inventor of special effects, by adding an original, multi-layered score to complement and interpret 12 of his otherwise silent films. A trio of musicians play an extraordinary range of 50 instruments, from the classics to the obscure, evoking the technical wizardry and playful creativity that defined Méliès’ work. This unique production puts music and film in perfect harmony to reimagine cinema’s early years.
