The Blind Narcissist, Saeed Hani‘s latest creation, is a unified interdisciplinary performance inviting choreography, visual arts, nude and spatial art to the stage. Loosely inspired by the myth of Narcissus, a man who could only express love and admiration for himself, the piece delves into a self-destructive love story. In this relationship, where a young man’s partner devotes all his passion to his reflection, an imbalance emerges that inevitably leads to a merciless struggle.
