Reviews said about this Five-Star-Show at the Edinburgh Fringe “A magical hour where films, light and music weave a rich tapestry. A unique experience.” Created by Jean-François Alcoléa and praised by the Great-Great-Granddaughter of legendary filmmaker and cinematographer Georges Méliès, "Right in the Eye" features a captivating, multi-layered score performed by three virtuoso musicians, offering an amazing emotional voyage.

Their mesmerizing music evokes the technical wizardry and playful creativity that defined his work. This multimedia production, showcasing 12 films, blends live performance with stunning visuals, offering an emotional journey through early cinema. The inventiveness of the musicians and imagery mirrors Méliès’ boundless imagination, creating a unique experience where both music and film work in perfect harmony to reimagine cinema’s early years. “It is at once inventive, elegant, and moving... right to the core." — Festival Avignon, France Visit: https://sandiegotheatres.org/event/2026/02/right-eye Alcoléa & cie on Facebook / Instagram
