Tonight we to a play for my spanish class- (I was pretty much dreading it being that we'd already had 3 hours of spanish class everyday this week). It was actually a pretty cool experience. The show was at a blind theater, where all the actors were blind. The premise was that the show was to be a sensory experience, so the audience too was blind. We were led in, in the dark, and sat there for an hour just listening and experiencing the show.
It was strange, but a really interesting concept. In the hour we sat in the dark, we heard them act the play, listened to music, "smelled" the market (cinnamon, orange, and other spices) and the jungle (cucumber and then we were misted with rain) where it was set and "survived" a shipwreck and a large thunderstorm at sea. I left a little bit dazed, and wet, but it was still something interesting I'm glad to have done tonight. I brought my camera to put up some photos, but needless to say, my efforts were futile.
Close your eyes. You've got the picture.
