Right in the Eye (En plein dans l’oeil) Composer-scenographer Jean-François Alcoléa brings to life the cinematographic works of George Méliès, one of the pioneers of cinematography. Live Movie-Concert based on Georges Méliès’ films Praised by the Great-Granddaughter of legendary filmmaker and cinematographer Georges Méliès, Jean-François Alcoléa has crafted a magical show where a multi-layered and inventive score highlights Méliès’ iconic films. Featuring a trio of virtuoso musicians, their performance, in and of itself, is a spectacle – as they create music from an extraordinary range of instruments: piano, a soundboard, percussion and guitar; aquaphone (marine harp), theremin, melodica, glockenspiel; and objects of everyday life such as stemware, circular saws, whistles, flying plates and takeaway food lids. 3 Musicians – 50 Instruments – 11 Films.
