Alliance Française Ottawa, in partnership with The Bytowne Cinema and the French company "Alcoléa & Cie," are pleased to offer you a spectacular live movie-concert experience!
"Right in the Eye" ("En plein dans l’œil") is a multimedia show composed of 12 films by Georges Méliès, a pioneer of Cinema and wizard of special effects.
This family show introduces the cinematographic universe of Mélies in a poetic and playful way while also being accessible to young audiences. On stage, three musicians, in perfect symbiosis with the image, breathe new life into the work of this precursor and genius of the 7th art. The virtuoso musicians play some fifty different instruments, including rare and unique ones.
Don't miss this chance to be transported into the world of Georges Méliès by this truly inventive production!
