Blind

This two-person play focuses on the difficult and often painful relationship between an unyielding, widowed father and his estranged daughter, exploring generational conflicts and the question of the value of care and tolerance.

When it becomes clear that the father will soon need assistance, irreconcilable life choices, old wounds, and political views collide.

The new play by Lot Vekemans (“Gift,” “Judas,” “Ismene, Sister of”) sparkles with controversial tenderness. It depicts the everyday reality of a relationship that could scarcely be more human or profound.

It is a similarly compelling exploration, featuring dialogue as crystal-clear and brilliant as in Vekemans’ last play, “Gift,” which has been running at the Deutsches Theater for many years. And once again, Vekemans has created a magnificent family drama addressing the question, “How should we live together?” In a very human way, she highlights seemingly irreconcilable positions—the very ones that cause dissent and conflict in many families and circles of friends today.
