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.
