After having successfully presented 14 performances in Puerto Rico, Teatro Círculo presents the University of Puerto Rico’s Travelling Theatre production LOS CIEGOS (The Blind) by Maurice Maeterlinck, directed by Prof. Israel Franco-Müller.  

Celebrating the 10th year of CALLBACKseries, which promotes Latinx artists whose work had been previously produced at the developmental level and deserves to be “called back” for a new Main Stage presentation.

Los ciegos (The Blind), an emblematic play of European Symbolist theatre, immerses the spectator in a sensorial experience, where they feel part of what is happening on stage. It’s an innovative proposal that incorporates elements of the traditional Japanese dance Butōh, giving it a unique and deeply introspective aesthetic.

Los ciegos provokes deep reflection, sharpening the senses and allowing the audience to connect with the frustrations and desires of blind people.

The play addresses the perspective of blind people in the 1880s and exposes the dismissal they suffer from those who can see. It invites us to question whether attitudes and support towards the blind community have changed from that time to the present.
