Right in the Eye (En plein dans l’œil) is a mutltimedia show composed of 12 films by Georges Méliès, a pioneer of the Cinema and a wizard of special effects.
On stage, three virtuoso musicians play some fifty different instruments, including rare and unique ones, breathing fresh impetus into these cinematographic gems.
In a subtly-staged setting, in perfect symbiosis with the imagery, the musicians transport us in an inventive production, performed both onstage and onscreen, that reflects the creative genius of Méliès. [https://alcolea-cie.net/en/rig...]

"It is at once inventive, elegant and moving… Right to the core."
— Avignon Festival, France
"Recapture the sheer manic daftness of Meliès’ inventive genius."
— The Scotsman, UK
"A crystallization of how cinema and music evoke wonder in those who give it a chance."
— Technique, USA
"Right in the Eye is one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Truly talented and ingenious artists."
— Alex Credeur
"The three musicians whisk the audience away on a peaceful, dream-like journey to the moon or beyond – a feast for the eyes and for the ears!"
— Falaise, FR
"This performance ranks as one of the best performances that I’ve seen anywhere. This was wonderful, dynamic experience."
— Linda Semere
"Right in the Eye is more than a showcase of the silent films of Georges Méliès, it is more than a showcase of modern music performed live. Rather, it is the perfect synthesis of the two, where Georges Méliès’ films and the live performance of Jean-François Alcoléa’s music perfectly complement each other ."
— Cultural voice of North Carolina
