Lot Vekemans BLIND play
A highly topical season opener with a star cast! See television and theater legend Helmut Zierl and the well-known Stuttgart actress Lisa Wildmann in a moving two-person play.
Richard lives in a so-called "gated community", an exclusive residential complex whose entrance is guarded by a security service. His daughter Helen, a socially committed lawyer, is reluctant to visit him because their relationship is strained.
When an alarm in the apartment complex cuts father and daughter off from the outside world for an indefinite period of time, they are forced to come to terms with their complex relationship: A verbal battle ensues over personal and political views, but also over affection and love, which becomes increasingly fundamental.
The new play by Lot Vekemans ("Judas") sparkles with controversial tenderness. It shows us the everyday life of a relationship that could hardly be more human and profound. "The trademark of the most-performed Dutch playwright Lot Vekemans is small chamber plays about big themes", writes the theater portal "Nachtkritik" about "Blind".
At a time when quick answers and blanket condemnation of other views are in vogue, this play shows how important it is to listen to each other. A powerful plea for more tolerance - and a celebration of the art of acting. Look forward to a reunion with Helmut Zierl, who last thrilled our audiences in "Death of a Salesman"!
