A live event to accompany ‘Unseen’ a gripping new audio drama that examines domestic abuse in the blind and visually impaired community.
Extant presents a live event to accompany Unseen, a gripping new audio drama that examines the subtle and insidious effect of domestic abuse on the blind and visually impaired community, using empathy, hope and candour to raise awareness of this important subject. Excerpts from the audio drama will be performed live by visually impaired actors, followed by a panel discussion with members of the creative team and representatives from organisations that have supported the making of the work.
The work is a creative response to The Unseen report by Fight for Sight (forged from the merger of Fight for Sight and Vision Foundation). This report highlighted the inaccessibility of domestic abuse services to visually impaired people, despite the fact that disabled people are nearly three times more likely to experience domestic abuse than non-disabled people. You can also reserve a place on the guest list by emailing [email protected] with your full name, number of tickets, access requirements. Extant is the UK’s leading professional performing arts company of visually impaired artists.
Content warning: This audio drama contains themes of domestic abuse, violence, trauma and strong language.
