Blind is a poignant play by Lot Vekemans, directed by Matthias Rippert, that delves into the strained relationship between a father and daughter amidst personal crisis.

Following the death of his wife, Richard has retreated into a heavily secured Gated Community, isolating himself from the world. He has unexpectedly dismissed his long-time housekeeper and now relies solely on his daughter Helen for care, as his health deteriorates.

The narrative unfolds in a series of intense dialogues that illustrate the depth of their complex relationship. Richard, portrayed by the esteemed Manfred Zapatka, is a man defined by his past successes and deeply ingrained prejudices. His daughter, played by Juliane Köhler, challenges his outdated views, being a modern, socially conscious individual married to a Black man.

As Richard faces the impending loss of his sight due to cancer, the duo must confront their shared history and find a way to connect, especially when an alarm prevents Richard from leaving his home. The performance is a subtle yet powerful exploration of human emotions, duty, and the struggle between personal desires and familial obligations.
