Based on Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago’s phantasmagorical novel, adapted by Simon Stephens, “Blindness”begins with the nightmarish premise of a pandemic that causes blindness. In an immersive sound and light installation, the production features the recorded audio performance of the Olivier Award-winning actress Juliet Stevenson for a wholly unique experience. This actor-less installation, limited to 40 guests at a time, will be a welcoming first step back into Sidney Harman Hall. Various times. $49.99.
