THE BLIND – Theatre Music

PRESENTED AT THE FESTIVAL OF THE TWO WORLDS in SPOLETO 2019

Simple and immobile is the dramatic situation of I CIECHI (The blind): A group of blind people, in a deep night, fear that they have been abandoned by those who led them: They no longer hear his words, they no longer feel his presence. In this emptiness, they are looking for a value, a guide, a point of reference. Is the tragic blindness of Maeterlinck’s characters the sister of the equally tragic loneliness of many young people of our time that leads them, with devious and modern instruments, to surrender?
