ODD MAN OUT LIVE
Odd Man Out (Drama Desk Nomination and Off-Broadway Alliance Award Winner – Best Unique Theatrical Experience) is an immersive experience in complete darkness that includes actors surrounding the audience and sensorial special effects. You will experience a story through sound, smell, taste and touch. You will even feel weather happening inside the room. In Odd Man Out, you will relive the life of an aging blind musician living back to his homeland as he confronts the past he left behind.
The PITCHBLACK THEATER technique was developed in Argentina by blind artists and has expanded throughout the world. Alberto, the protagonist, is blind, and the audience experiences his life through the “blind” eyes of his character. Our expert team of technicians will take you on a journey beyond your wildest imagination, challenging your limits and awakening your senses. What you see when you can’t use your eyes – that’s the excitement of ODD MAN OUT.

A Story About Love and Fears left behind
PITCHBLACK Airlines invites you to take a journey you won’t forget. Alongside Alberto, a blind Argentine musician, we will experience the return flight to his country after having lived in New York for the past 40 years. We will travel through the memories of his life: childhood in his family home, adolescence, the first love that would shape his life, the darkest moments of Argentine history, his exile in the United States, his career as an artist, and the constant search for freedom between the cities of Buenos Aires and New York.
Forty percent of the staff and creative team are blind and low-vision individuals. Our shows also use extensive sustainability practices, by minimally building or creating sets, lights and costumes in our productions

BARBA
Brazilian Body Percussion Musical is an ensemble-driven theatrical experience inspired by the real-life Brazilian body music group Barbatuques and their founder, Fernando Barba.
After a life-altering diagnosis, the group is invited to perform a make-or-break concert that could secure—or end—their future. Divided by grief and uncertainty, they must decide if they can continue without the man who defined their sound.
Blending explosive rhythm with storytelling, BARBA: Brazilian Body Percussion Musical builds to a powerful realization: the heartbeat of their sound was never one man—it was always the collective.
