About the author
Hi! I'm Ernesto. I will bring you a visual perspective of the cool stuff happening here in Amsterdam. Enjoy!

In my time as a freelancer I had some pretty nice jobs: making videos, photographs and many other things. Although I’m quite happy with al these different kinds of activities, there was one thing missing: being innovative and refreshing in theatre. A smoking refrigerator, blind actors, infra-red lighting & video, total darkness, sound scopes and a party in a kitchen. Teiresias is the name of the play that brings you this unique theatre experience.

A Greek drama with the intimacy of a kitchen table dinner
Teiresias, the blind prophet, is one of the most fascinating figures out of all the great Greek mythology stories. This hero has somehow never been featured in a lead role! In 2011, almost 2500 year A.D. his chance has come: Ko van den Bosch and Ola Mafaalani made there story by translating the classic stories into what has now become “a new classic” of the Teiresias myth.
