Odd Man Out es una experencia sensorial inmersiva que despierta tus sentidos y tu imaginación. Tomarás un vuelo como ningún otro – en completa oscuridad. Llegas a nuestro aeropuerto y esperas en el salón y la puerta de embarque de PITCHBLACK Airlines, donde te preparamos para el viaje. Te guiamos hasta tu asiento en una cabina completamente oscura. Una vez en el vuelo, experimentarás una historia a través del sonido, el olfato, el gusto y el tacto. Incluso sentirás el clima sucediendo dentro de la habitación. Pero todo en completa oscuridad. Una vez que salgas, te invitamos a quedarte y disfrutar de la belleza, la vida y la esperanza de tu nuevo destino. El espectáculo narra la historia de un músico ciego cuya vida lo lleva desde Buenos Aires hasta Nueva York. Seguiremos la vida de Alberto mientras descubre la música, aprende a tocar la guitarra, viaja por el mundo y finalmente lidera y triunfa con su propia banda. También experimentará desamor y pérdida en un país desgarrado por conflictos internos. Odd Man Out no solo se trata de contar una historia, sino de crear una experiencia teatral única.

Odd Man Out is an immersive sensory experience that awakens your senses and your imagination. You will take a flight like no other—in complete darkness. You arrive at our airport and wait in the lounge and boarding gate of PITCHBLACK Airlines, where we prepare you for the journey. We guide you to your seat in a completely dark cabin. Once in flight, you will experience a story through sound, smell, taste, and touch. You will even feel the weather happening inside the room—all in total darkness. When you exit, you are invited to stay and enjoy the beauty, life, and hope of your new destination. The show tells the story of a blind musician whose life takes him from Buenos Aires to New York City. We follow Alberto’s life as he discovers music, learns to play the guitar, travels the world, and ultimately leads and succeeds with his own band. He will also experience heartbreak and loss in a country torn by internal conflict. Odd Man Out is not only about telling a story, but about creating a unique theatrical experience.

Presented in Spanish with English supertitles. Part of the 40ᵗʰ International Hispanic Theatre Festival of Miami and MDCA’s Hot Theatre Summer Series.
