Blindness

Approximately 75 minutes, without an intermission.

Due to the subject matter, we recommend this sound narrative for people aged 15 years and older. Blindness includes strong language. The sound installation includes extended periods of complete blackout, loud noises, and bright flashing lights and strobe in close proximity to patrons. Blindness contains the following themes: discussion of sexual assault, description of an act of physical assault and explorations of psychological trauma.

All areas of the theatre and seating area are fully accessible. If you require accessible seating or have accessibility requirements, please call 1.800.461.3333.
