Sightless Cinema Tallaght returns to Civic after the success of Blind Panic last year, and their recent national tour with In the Dark. Home is a programme of audio shorts, where all the pictures are in your head! Optional blindfolds are provided.
The programme includes Homeward Bound by Tallaght Sightless Cinema with Hugh Hick, about when a mother dies leaving the family farm to two brothers, along with big questions to be answered, and a mountain to climb. They will also perform live comedy Numbers Game, a lost lotto ticket caper.
The event also features recorded and live audio plays, performed by casts of Sightless Cinema Network members from Laois and Meath. Sleep is 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?
We are delighted that Are You Blind or What?, a radio documentary about the group by Anne Marie Kelly is nominated for an IMRO Award.
