Becoming Blind (as a Bat): A Scented Storytelling Journey

next performance: Wednesday, February 21st, 7pm

For most of her life, writer, performer, and founder of Aromatica Poetica, Dr. M. Leona Godin, told her story as a journey of “going blind.” Now she tells her story as a journey of “becoming blind.” A metamorphosis like any other, transforming from sighted person to blind person entails pain and beauty and excitement. Godin will punctuate her stories with scented, tactile tokens, handmade by her for this Olfactory Art Keller performance. These tokens give audience members something to touch, sniff, and take home with them. Blackout shades will be provided—because you don’t need your eyes for this!
