2019
ODD MAN OUT premiered in October 2019 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Performed by six actors entirely in the dark, odd man out relies on immersive sound design, a delicate choreography and the innovative use of smell and touch to create the landscape of its world and characters with a cast composed of majority artists that have either partial or complete vision loss.

On February 18, 2020, following the Spanish production in Argentina, we premiered in the U.S. at an English-Language workshop presentation with American actors- almost half of whom were visually impaired, rehearsed in Argentina and presented excerpts from the play at the American Embassy in preparation for a New York Production in an upcoming season.

A memory of who we are and will always be. Join us for the next 7 minutes, get your headphones ready and enjoy the ride!
