Director – Šviesa Šulc
Duration – 50 min.
For teenagers and young people

Can the world be seen without seeing it with your eyes? Yes – it can be heard, smelled, touched, tasted, and felt with the heart.
“The Unseeable World” is a sensitive and engaging performance about a blind person who faces bullying, pity, and prejudice from those around him. Even his closest neighbours see his disability, but for a long time fail to notice the person himself – his feelings, dreams, abilities, and kindness.
However, the main character of the performance does not give up. He does not lose faith in people, preserves his empathy, and retains the ability to notice another person’s pain. He can bake cakes, make tea, play games, make friends, and enjoy life – just like any of us. His world is full of sounds, smells, touch, surprises, and beauty.
Gradually, even those who mocked him begin to understand that true blindness may lie not in the eyes, but in the unwillingness to see another person. Kindness, friendship, and genuine connection can change not only one person’s everyday life, but the everyday life of the whole world.
The performance explores themes that are especially important today: bullying, tolerance, empathy, friendship, acceptance of others, social exclusion, and excessive reliance on technology. It is an invitation to stop, listen, and look deeper – not at a person’s appearance, but at their inner world.
Sometimes, the most important things are invisible to the eyes.
