The boundaries of perception

As a person with sight, imagine not being able to see anything during the entire show. You are blind. It will be a surprise to test how one’s sense of perception changes. As blind people and the work of neurologist Oliver Sacks demonstrate, even with a passing disorder new capacities are developed and come into play.

Are you ready to discover these?

Starting with a shift in the senses and new insights, composer César Camarero, Premio Nacional de Música 2006 (2006 National Prize of Music), has created Es lo contrario. This is not just musical theatre, rather it is a uniquely sensitive experience enveloped in darkness. For its 60 minutes 

Inspired by The Blind by Maurice Maeterlinck, César Camarero and the Zahir Ensemble propose an unprecedented experience that explores the limits of our perception.

The press says

El Maestranza de Sevilla presenta el estreno absoluto de 'Es lo contrario'

La obra, coproducción del Teatro de la Maestranza con los Teatros del Canal de Madrid," es toda una experiencia sensitiva envuelta en la oscuridad, pues transcurre en una oscuridad absoluta...

‘Es lo contrario’, cuento de miedo en la oscuridad

Es lo contrario es, vaya por delante, Camarero en estado puro.
