Right in the Eye: Live movie-concert on the films of Georges Méliès

  • This event has passed.

February 20 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Part concert, part cinema, part pure imagination—Right in the Eye is a one-of-a-kind performance that brings the whimsical world of early filmmaker Georges Méliès to life in the most creative way imaginable. Three live musicians perform an original score using over 50 instruments—think piano, guitar, theremin, music boxes, even plastic flying plates!—while 12 of Méliès’ silent films play on screen in a mesmerizing mix of music, light, and shadow.

More than just a movie-with-music, this immersive experience recreates the wonder of early cinema with inventive staging, live sound effects, and cinematic magic that captivates audiences of all ages. You don’t need to be a silent film expert—just bring your curiosity and your sense of wonder.

Perfect for families, students, and film lovers alike, Right in the Eye is a playful, surprising, and utterly delightful journey through fantasy, sci-fi, and surreal comedy that celebrates the origins of film through a bold, modern lens. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
