See it if you are looking for an immersive and original theater experience. The entire show is in the dark, so you can't see anything.
Don't see it if you are not into experimental theater, or if you expect a traditional play with characters, storylines, etc. This show is totally sensorial.
"The evening consists of several unconnected vignettes, which might not seem like coherent storytelling. But surrendering the narrative puts the "spectator" in the dark, allowing for a new kind of theatre, one with its own strange and beautiful logic."
