Richard used to work in water management; since his wife's death, he has been living withdrawn in a residential complex. The relationship with his daughter Helen is strained. Richard rejects Helen's husband due to his skin color and cannot respect her idealistic stance as a lawyer. Helen, in turn, accuses her father of avoiding the challenges of a changing society. When Richard's housekeeper Lizzy does not show up one day, Helen has to step in to take care of her father, as Richard is at risk of becoming blind. When an alarm is triggered in Richard's isolated residential complex, father and daughter are cut off from the outside world indefinitely. A confrontation begins, in which both fight with each other – eloquently, politically, and very personally: for their sovereignty, for their beliefs, for their self-determined lives. But also for their mutual affection and love as father and daughter.

Blind
Play by Lot Vekemans translated from Dutch by Eva M. Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach

Intensive and spark-flying confrontation between father and daughter!
Richard used to work in water management. Since the death of his wife, he has withdrawn and is cared for by Lizzy, his housekeeper. Helen, Richard's daughter, seldom visits her father. The relationship is strained because Richard rejects Helen's husband due to his skin color. But today the housekeeper has not shown up, and Helen must step in, as her father is threatened by blindness. A confrontation begins, in which both fight with each other – eloquent, political, and very personal: for their sovereignty, for their beliefs, for their self-determined life. But also for their mutual affection and love as father and daughter.
The Dutch author Lot Vekemans is already known to the tfn audience through her plays "Gift," "A Marriage Story," and "Judas." Her latest work "Blind" premiered in 2023 and is filled with controversy and tenderness. It provides insights into a familial relationship that could not be more human and profound. Look forward to an intense and impressive evening that tackles themes such as climate change and racism without a moralizing finger-wagging, where humor also flashes from time to time – and which is above all one thing: deeply moving.

Blind - Schauspiel von Lot Vekemans

Play by Lot Vekemans

Translation by Eva M. Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach
With Peter Kremer and Lisa Wildmann

Richard, who once built dams and aqueducts, lives a reclusive life in a residential complex after the death of his wife. Because he disapproves of her political views, he has cut off contact with his daughter Helen, a lawyer who is married to a Black writer. It is particularly difficult for him to ask her for help, as he can hardly see anymore and can no longer live alone. Two incompatible life concepts collide. Neither of them has been able or willing to build a bridge to the other thus far.
Both are blind, blind to the perspective of the other, blind to the injuries they have inflicted on each other, until a cautious rapprochement begins through which they gradually recognize each other's motives, fears, and desires.

“The well-made conversation piece will soon be seen on numerous stages,” predicts Detlev Baur on November 29, 2024, in Die Deutsche Bühne about the complex, emotionally touching father-daughter conflict. “BLIND,” the new play by Dutch playwright Lot Vekemans, performed in over 35 countries and translated into 22 languages, strikes a chord with its universal and current themes. The author poses the question of whether it is possible to love someone whose beliefs you reject.

Press Reviews
Equal opportunities, distributive justice, climate change, ecological exploitation, racism – and above all, the generational conflict: The contemporary issues checklist in Lot Vekemans' father-daughter play leaves hardly any gaps. (…) In her production for the Altes Schauspielhaus, Karin Eppler focuses on psychologically motivated character development and can rely on the nuanced, sensitive performance of her acting duo.

Richard, who once built dams and aqueducts, lives a reclusive life in a residential complex after the death of his wife. Because he rejects her political views, he has cut off contact with his daughter Helen, a lawyer who is married to a Black writer. It is all the harder for him to ask her for help, as he can hardly see anything anymore and can no longer live alone. Two incompatible life concepts, which have long made living together impossible for both, collide. Neither of them could or wanted to build a bridge to the other until now.

Both are blind – blind to each other's perspective, blind to the wounds they have inflicted on one another … until a cautious rapprochement begins, through which they gradually recognize each other's motives, fears, and desires – and for the first time show understanding for each other.
