Through My Lens —ALPHA

 by Amy Amantea with Theatre Replacement

Through My Lens is an interdisciplinary performance that brings Amantea’s life experiences into one space and shares with audiences what it is to live with blindness. The audience will act as Amantea’s “eyes”, describing her photos —which have never been seen by her — back to her. This interaction will open up a new realm of perception: a reciprocal collision of the visual and non-visual experience.

HOME —BETA

By Beau Dixon and Linda Garneau
