Summary
In the early days of silent cinema, Georges Méliès fills the screen with multiple images of a single man. In those black-and-white frames where reality is distorted, not a single seat remains empty, and the music fills the mind. The orchestra, multiplied by a magical illusion, finds its rhythm with a mischievous comedic tone. This short performance, created using trick photography techniques, brings to the screen the wonders that cinema had not yet named.
