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 Since the death of his wife, he has withdrawn and is cared for by Lizzy, his housekeeper.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.
