The Blind

Poster for a theatre play The Blind, by Maurice Maeterlinck, directed by Peter Petkovsek. The Blind opened at Schapiro Theatre in New York on April 11, 2014. The Blind (presented here in a 1894 translation by the great painter Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema) is a good example where the powerlessness of the characters is expressed through their blindness, and the principal situation is waiting. The little troupe is lost in the forest and bereft of all agency while bigger forces around them are shifting and making their presence felt. Great change is coming, and not everyone will survive through it… Finalist in 7. Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications (2016)
