Description A short twenty-minute installation performance tucked into ArtPlay, a little injection of joy. Before we enter, we are all – adults and children alike – asked to put on a blindfold, ingeniously made from a stuffed white pantyhose. It is comfortable to wear, but also creates a feeling of fogginess rather than darkness: we might be stepping into this space without vision, but not without light. And by blindfolding everyone, the space is democratised: the children are no longer being watched by their parents; the parents have no control over their children’s experience.
