BLIND<\/em> returns for a powerful restaging after its celebrated 2015 debut, which was seen at major theatres and festivals in London, New\u202fYork, Tokyo, and the Netherlands.<\/p>

<\/p>

Created together with Nancy Black of Black Hole Theatre (Melbourne, Australia) and coached by Afro-Brazilian anthropologist Patrick Oliveira, BLIND<\/em> is an immersive visual theatre experience that blends dance, sound, light and the manipulation of foam sculptures. <\/p>

<\/p>

The piece is a physical ritual of healing, rooted in Paiva\u2019s own experience with an illness that left scars on his skin and temporarily blinded him. Through his self-developed \u201cObject Score,\u201d the performer reimagines his body as a living map of boundaries, vulnerability, and resilience. <\/p>

<\/p>

BLIND<\/em> is a coproduction with Festival Mondial des Th\u00e9\u00e2tres de Marionnettes (FR), <\/a>Black Hole Theatre (AUS)<\/a>, Nordland Visual Theatre (NO)<\/a> and Korzo producties (NL)<\/a>. Financially supported by Performing Arts Fund NL<\/a>. With thanks to Hans C. Boer, Domokos Kovacs, Patrick Oliveira and MapLab Utrecht. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tGiving life to things that aren\u2019t alive is a way of healing and a reminder that we don\u2019t own life; we only look after it.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In this solo, Duda Paiva returns to his childhood in Brazil. A period in which an unknown illness not only changed his body but also affected his eyes. The search for a cure led to a surreal journey through Western and Shamanic healing methods. In BLIND, he uses this childhood experience as a metaphor for being different, for not belonging, and for finding an answer to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8143","wp_theatre_prod","type-wp_theatre_prod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adults"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wp_theatre_prod\/8143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wp_theatre_prod"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wp_theatre_prod"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8143"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wp_theatre_prod\/8143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10716,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wp_theatre_prod\/8143\/revisions\/10716"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dudapaiva.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
