Blind Man’s Song

After a sell-out run at the 2015 London International Mime Festival, Theatre Re (The Gambler, The Little Soldiers) presents a wordless tale about the power of imagination that blends together physical theatre, mime, sound, illusion and a beautifully lyrical live music score. "Superb... like a Samuel Beckett play designed by Magritte" (The Stage).

As an old blind man takes unsteady steps around a room, he recalls an encounter that triggers his memories and imagination and, a story of love, courage, hope and unquenchable vision unfolds.

Blind Man's Song is a tale about one man's rage against his world of darkness. Inspired by the paintings of René Magritte, the dead-end world of Samuel Beckett and interviews with blind and visually-impaired people, it witnesses the power of the body to communicate without words.
