Next performances: the dates for the 2025 performances are coming soon

Is watching the same as seeing? Can someone without eyes truly see, and can someone with eyes be blind? How can we grasp the real and meaningful that hides behind appearances? These were important questions for Jacques Lusseyran, a blind writer of the 20th century, and they are also at the core of the performance created through the collaboration of Baltazár Theatre and Artus. Inspired by the life and two novels of the French writer, IT’S TIME FOR THE LIGHT is co-directed by Elek Dóra and Gábor Goda. This production is based on a true story, with the lead role played by blind actor Dániel Klabacsek.

Premiere: October 12, 2024
