The Cinema-Concert in Guardamar
The cinema-concert featuring Buster Keaton’s “The General” is a true highlight of the January cultural calendar. It’s a unique experience that recreates how silent films were originally viewed, including live musical accompaniment.
What to Expect:
The live performance screening features a live piano soundtrack performed by Jorge Gil Zulueta. His performance is part of a Mediterranean tour celebrating the 100th anniversary of the film, blending classical silent-era music with jazz and ragtime styles.
The film is widely is considered one of the greatest films ever made; this 1992 masterpiece stars Buster Keaton as Johnny Gray, a train engineer during the American Civil War who rescues both his beloved locomotive and his girlfriend from the enemy forces.
Unlike a standard cinema screening, the live music adds a dynamic, energetic layer to the film’s famous slapstick comedy and impressive stunt sequences.
