The Kolowrat Theatre presents an unconventional theatre performance – the theatre without seeing. Students of the Faculty of Theatre tell a famous story by Jules Verne and let the audience feel what it is like to travel around the world blindfolded.

The project is not only focused on the visually impaired, but also on sighted audience members who would like to know what it is like to be blind.
