Sightless Cinema presents: Home

Following two successful shows by Sightless Cinema Meath at Solstice in 2023 including Blind Panic, the company return with a new show. Close your eyes, and think of Home – a programme of shorts ranging from family drama to hospital farce. The immersive surround sound audio plays are a feast for the imagination – because all the pictures are in your head. Optional blindfolds are provided to help bring into the world of Sightless Cinema.

The programme includes Sleep, a comedy set in a sleep study clinic, where insomniacs and sleepwalkers rule the night. In The Committee, Ballinagalt village Tractorfest committee is falling apart – can a hero emerge to save the village? The evening will also feature live radio dramas performed on stage by members of the Sightless Cinema Network from three counties.

In its tenth successful year, Sightless Cinema is a collaborative arts project for people with sight loss to devise and produce audio theatre, led by director Ciarán Taylor. Groups from Meath, Laois, and South Dublin join forces again to present Home.

Sightless Cinema last appeared at Solstice in March with In the Dark an all-live audio play about sight-loss; and since 2015 they have presented seven original programmes at venues including the Lighthouse and IMC Cinemas.
