The Blind Owl – Die blinde Eule

In the organizer's words:

THE BLIND OWL is a haunting dance theater about the complexity, fragility and constant change of identity. Inspired by the novel "The Blind Owl" by Iranian author Sadegh Hedayat, the production combines dance, music and video projections to create a sensual, political and confusing stage world.
At the center is a nameless narrator whose ego splinters into various figures - a girl and an old man reflect his inner states. The boundaries between reality and imagination blur between dream, memory and hallucination. The female figure appears as a projection screen for male fears and desires. She only exists through the gaze of the man - symbol instead of subject.

THE BLIND OWL makes it possible to experience identity as a dynamic process - characterized by migration, gender, power structures and social control. At a time when patriarchal systems attempt to define roles and shape identities, it becomes tangible how external circumstances shape inner worlds and how self-images remain fragile. With a feminist perspective, the piece questions patriarchal perspectives, power and attributions and invites the audience to radically rethink their own perception and self - in a world in which identity is constantly being renegotiated.
