Zoe Chatziantoniou
The Blind or The Sound of Little Things in a Big, Dark Landscape
A composition based on the one-act play by Maurice Maeterlinck.
Deep in a forest a group of blind persons wait for their guide. When they realize he will never come, they take no action but instead abandon themselves to the mercy of a dark fate. Approaching blindness not as a bodily condition but as an ontological one, Zoe Hadjiantoniou and Dimitris Kamarotos compose a strange opera of sound and gesture that is inspired by Belgian Nobel-prize-winner Maurice Maeterlinck’s 1890 play, The Blind. Savina Yannatou and a Chorus of superb actors perform a playful metaphysical parable on the inertia of mortal beings “in the midst of an endless cosmos that is never inert,” in the words of Maeterlinck.
