Hommage to Buster Keaton: The Electric House + The Balloonatic

Hommage to Buster Keaton: The Electric House + The Balloonatic invites audiences to laugh along with the legendary “Great Stone Face” in two classic shorts that celebrate his masterful use of mechanical comedy. In The Electric House (1922), a graduate botanist mistakenly inherits an electrical‑engineering diploma and is forced to wire an entire house—transforming it into a cascade of surprising gadgets and hilariously unpredictable mishaps. The following year’s The Balloonatic (1923) shows Keaton clambering onto a hot‑air balloon to affix a pennant, only to be carried aloft by the very balloon he tampered with, delivering a soaring spectacle of uproarious antics. Presented as part of Buster Keaton’s second curated programme, these gems are accompanied by a selection of piano pieces from the French Romantic repertoire, adding a lyrical backdrop to Keaton’s visual wit. Join us for a night of timeless comedy, elegant music, and Buster Keaton’s unforgettable charm. Details & tickets.
