Blind Spot

In the nooks and crannies of her home, eight-year-old Kirsty Vanderkamp discovers a miniature world: dust bunny farms under her bed, a burlesque show in the butter dish, a gossip magazine called Dish published in the china cabinet, a religious empire centered in the bathroom lighting fixture. As Kirsty explores and documents this world, she crosses paths with an ambitious social climber named Aura Rotter and a lovelorn farmboy named Iota Potts, who loves Aura more than is good for anybody. If Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez co-wrote a children’s play about divorce and NAFTA, it might look a little like Blind Spot. Nine actors play more than 50 roles while a handful of tables and chairs transform into a dozen locations.
