Penn Live Arts: Alcoléa & cie

In a Philadelphia debut, “Right in the Eye” celebrates Georges Méliès—a cinema pioneer and the inventor of special effects—by adding an original, multilayered score to complement and interpret 12 of his otherwise silent films. In this movie-concert by France’s Alcoléa & cie, a trio of musicians will play a range of 50 instruments, from the classics to the obscure, evoking the technical and playful approach that defined Méliès’ work. Students can receive a discount with Penn ID.

7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut St.
