Was ihr nicht sehen könnt (“What you can’t see”) takes us down into the underworld: the myth of the vampire has its origins in our fear of illness, which we prefer to keep hidden away from us. Occupying this indeterminate space between life and death, sickness and health, vampires shift between states that appear to be unambiguous. Manuela Infante is one of the most important Latin American voices, whose political theatre is fuelled by fantasy and musicality in its own unique way. In Was ihr nicht sehen könnt, she explores with a thirst for knowledge the many stories surrounding vampires.
Three figures on a dark stage. They live here, isolated from the rest of the world; they have withdrawn to this place where the sun never shines. They are vampires, beings between worlds, not dead, but not alive either. But what does the myth that has populated human fantasy for centuries actually have to do with our relationship to the vulnerability of the human body?
