Right in the Eye | VI FIAE

A live cinema concert by Alcoléa & Cie, bringing the films of Georges Méliès to life with live music and cinematic illusion. CENTRAL FLORIDA PREMIERE. Open Scene brings France’s Alcoléa & Cie to Central Florida with Right in the Eye, a live cine-concert that reimagines 12 films by cinematic pioneer Georges Méliès through original musical composition, live sound creation, performance, and theatrical invention. Three musicians create the score live before your eyes, combining piano, percussion, guitar, theremin, aquaphone, and other instruments with unexpected objects and sound-making devices. Poetic, playful, and visually inventive, the performance brings the imagination of early cinema into dialogue with contemporary sound. This is not a traditional film screening with musical accompaniment. The musicians, instruments, objects, and creation of the soundtrack are part of the spectacle itself, as music and moving images work together to bring Méliès’ extraordinary cinematic worlds to life. • Jean-François Alcoléa — Concept, musical compositions and sound creation; keyboard, string structure, melodica, objects • Fabrice Favriou — Drums, guitar • Thomas Desmartis — Sound, keyboard, percussion, objects • Mathieu Lucas — Sound, light & video manager Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 7:00 PM Rotary Plaza at Art & History Museums of Maitland A conversation with the artists will immediately follow the performance.
