Description

This project explores the extraordinary wealth of sound and music in Charlie Chaplin’s films, highlights his relation to music at large, including sound, dance and rhythm. From the beginning of his career in music-halls to the invention of his character “Tramp”, his work as a self-taught musician working on musical accompaniment, the exhibition also examines the way he refused at first to go into talkings then invented a “sound burlesque”… This exhibition offers a discovery of Chaplin’s cinematographic work from the largely unexplored viewpoint of music. It provides an audiovisual immersion into inventive montages appealing to all age groups with both small and large projections, interactive devices, and also even a Chaplin hologram. Children can enjoy many playful installations such as puzzle or interactive machine which adds sound effects to silent films. .
