“Odd Man Out” at Bucks County’s Bristol Riverside Theatre takes place in complete darkness. It's from the point of view of a blind musician from Buenos Aires — meant to mirror 'the experience is what it is to be blind' and ignite the senses.
In what may be one of the area’s most unusual productions,will be performed and experienced in absolute darkness — the darkness experienced by the protagonist, Alberto, a blind musician from Buenos Aires as he flies home to Argentina from New York.
With Armesto translating, Bogarin said, “The experience is what it is to be blind. For blind people, it feels like a release.”An American Christmas Songbookwill take place across the parking lot in a separate building. The theatre’s 50-seat rehearsal space could more readily be adapted to the demands of darkness.
“I found myself still looking around. When I heard sounds, I’d turn my head to look at them and then become aware that I couldn’t see. It’s the little things — when the drink cart goes by and the person to the right fidgets in their seat. When it was done, we were led out. This, Armesto said, is their first time venturing out into a U.S. run— something Armesto hopes will lead to a training school and the founding of a Teatro Ciego-like New York-based theater.
“I hope the audience can empathize with the blind experience,” she said. But, she added, the total darkness the audience will experience is a “wonderful concept, but it’s not reality.” Most blind people, she said, are low-vision, like her. As practiced as Gilchrist is in counting steps and using a cane to find her way, she doesn’t always need it to walk in familiar places because she can see large patches of color and light.
