Event: Magic lantern show with live accompaniment  / London, 30 October 2025

Join the London Archives for an evening of specially devised entertainment by the renowned magic lantern performers Jeremy and Carolyn Brooker from the Magic Lantern Society. Before the main event you can view the current exhibition and an extra curated display of documents just for the evening. A pay bar will be available.

The show will feature an authentic triunial (or Triple) magic lantern combining three projectors in a single device. This is the most complex and rarest form of magic lantern entertainment creating fast-moving shows featuring the most spectacular effects the lantern can produce. Carolyn and Jeremy Brooker have been performing together for over 20 years to perfect this demanding art (www.jeremybrooker.com).

With live musical accompaniment provided by acclaimed silent film pianist Costas Fotopoulos (http://www.costasfotopoulos.com/). Costas is based in London and works internationally as a composer and arranger for film, the stage and the concert hall, and performs as a concert, silent film and jazz pianist.
