A virtual reality play based on Maeterlinck’s *The Blind*.
An aesthetic experience, a sensory immersion into limbo, at the heart of a faltering humanity.
Twelve blind people—six women and six men—wait in a very ancient forest, beneath a sky studded with stars. They watch for the return of their guide, a priest. A crisis erupts—heralded by the muffled calls of nature—when they realize that the priest has died among them and that they are left to fend for themselves.
Equipped with virtual reality headsets, twelve audience members are immersed in a raw and poetic virtual world.
Concept, adaptation, and set design by Julien Dubuc, INVIVO collective.
