VOICED : Robert Wilsons The Blacks bewitches Paris stage

US Director Robert Wilson presents 'The Blacks' at the Odeon Theatre in Paris, focusing on visual and auditory elements rather than traditional text. The play, featuring an all-black cast, challenges racial perceptions by having black actors portray a white audience. Wilson's unique approach emphasizes stage design, lighting, and music, creating a complex narrative that explores themes of race and identity without providing clear answers. The performance highlights contrasts and unity, encouraging actors to find meaning beyond words.
