THE DRAMATURGY
From the first moment, the audience is led to the confinement of the woman who can see it. Fuentes creates a harrowing musical theater in which the main character’s psychological abilities are central to the play’s narrative. We enter the woman’s world, we see with her eyes the darkness of confinement and also the sea of milk, like the white blindness that Saramago describes. In women, fear and hope are mixed, but also doubt and determination. She is strong and weak. We identify with it because it defines the human condition, between contradiction and paradox.
Despite being able to see, she decides to stay with the man she loves, suffering the consequences of confinement with him. The ending that Fuentes brings to the work is different from Saramago’s book and, as an omen announced from the beginning, the woman who sees it goes blind at the end of the work. With this tragic end, Fuentes launches a critique and reflection: we need to sharpen our vision, sharpen our sensitivity and be able to «see» in the most mystical, philosophical and human sense.
BLINDNESS – The woman that can see is a dark work that illuminates certain issues. «We are blind who, seeing, we cannot see», says Saramago. Do we intend not to see our reality to make our existence lighter? Fuentes raises the question on the scene.
