Ciné-concert
A silent film, scored live — the orchestra in plain view beside the screen.
Three Blind Mice performs live beside the screen for silent films by Chaplin, Keaton, Méliès and a few animated gems: original jazz, improvisation and hand-made sound effects, created in front of the audience. Jazz from the 1910s to the 1930s meets the image, with occasional nods to familiar classical repertoire.
The audience sees both the film and the musicians building its soundtrack in real time: a direct encounter between image, rhythm, humour and invention. The general-public ciné-concert runs about 1h20.
School versions are available in 30- and 60-minute formats, with time to discover the instruments, sound effects and how the show is made. When a public performance is booked, a school performance or educational encounter can often be added the day before or after, subject to timetable and local conditions.
