The blind wait for the priest who led them into the dark wood of the island. The blind do not realise that, beside them, the priest lies dead on an oak trunk. The blind wait for the priest to return and take them back to the asylum. The world surrounding the blind is a world of sounds: the breath of the wind in the trees, murmurs of the sea, startled birds... Technical sheet: Primeiros Sintomas. Text by Maurice Maeterlinck; direction and translation by Bruno Bravo; with Ana Brandão, António Mortágua, Joana Campos, João Pedro Dantas, Júlia Sampaio, Mafalda Jara and Sónia Assunção.
