The Blind One & The Mad One

Past Event

A play by Cláudia Barral. Translated and adapted by Almiro Andrade Presented by [Foreign Affairs]

The Blind One and The Mad One brought us the story of two sisters, weakling civil servant Renata and her haranguing older sister Minka, a former artist who has lost her sight. Whilst waiting for a neighbour to visit, they reminisce about their lives and settle old scores. Can their neighbour be heard over their intense argument? Will she ever come? Their fight comes to a head with a sad revelation for both of them where, engulfed in their memories, they must come to terms with their concept of reality, the limits of their sorority and what can actually be seen.
