Resistance

In June 2004 Extant was successful in it’s application to the Arts Council for funding to tour our first production. Hense there began a completely unique and ambitious project that not only aimed to draw together and put into action the research from our previous projects, but to also apply these to a new script by a blind writer, about a blind historic figure, and for the first time in Britain, cast a professional company of visually impaired actors to tour it across the UK and to other countries.

it explodes into white-hot light, dark shadows, whispered secrets and mysteries … there are also moments when form and content are matched so perfectly that the sighted catch a tiny glimpse of what it must be like to be visually impaired.
