Sightless Cinema returns to The Civic Theatre in Tallaght, after the success
of their Ballymuck Exchange – a telephone comedy in 2021. Close your eyes, if
you dare! Blind Panic is a mixed programme of short thrillers, hauntings and
strange scratching in the cupboard. The immersive surround sound audio plays
are a feast for the imagination – because all the pictures are in your head.
Optional blindfolds are provided to help bring into the world of Sightless
Cinema.
Ash is set in a country lodge guest house during a thunder storm which brings
on strange happenings, and consequences for all the guests.
Horse and No Jockey is a madcap comic mystery, which sees a blind weekend
away go off the rails, as more than the bags get mixed up.
In The Visitor, Laura returns from a horror film at the cinema, to make an
unsettling discovery in the old house she’s just moved into.
The evening will also feature Blind or What? a live radio drama with live
soundscapes performed by a Sightless Cinema Network cast of twenty-six from
three counties, letting you experience the everyday adventures of blind
people making their way through the urban landscape.
Performances:
18 Nov Solstice 7:30pm
23 Nov Civic 7:30pm
28 Nov Dunamais Arts Centre 7:30 p.m.
In its ninth successful year Sightless Cinema is a collaborative arts project
for people with sight loss to devise and produce audio theatre, led by
director Ciarán Taylor.

Laois County Council Arts Offices, and theatre artist Ciarán Taylor, in
partnership with Solstice Arts Centre, Dunamaise Arts Centre and The Civic
Theatre, with the National Council for the Blind of Ireland.
It is funded by The Arts Council under the Invitation to Collaboration Scheme.
