BLIND SOUND ORCHESTRA
silent film with blind musicians
BLIND SOUND ORCHESTRA
A unique project combining classic silent film and blind musicians playing live.
The film's soundtrack is synchronized live with sound effects in real time with the scenes and events of the film.
The result is magic.
Blind musicians can play any instruments and we only need a three-hour rehearsal on the day of the performance. In each city, local musicians are invited to participate.
The public does not understand how those blind musicians, with their backs to the projection, can be synchronized with the events of the film.
Different movie shows can be presented. A selection of short or medium length films. Comedies or Dramas will be selected.
Each performance should be with a new program.
