Latino Theater Company presents
by Martín Bondone
Directed by Carlos Armesto, Facundo Bogarín, Martín Bondone
Developed and devised by PITCHBLACK Immersive Experiences
ODD MAN OUT is an immersive experience in complete darkness in which the audience hears, smells, tastes and feels the story of Alberto, a blind jazz musician traveling home from New York to Buenos Aires after decades of self-exile. As a young man in the '60s Alberto gets a scholarship to New York City. His girlfriend eventually joins him, but she is ultimately drawn back to Argentina and its troubled politics. The passengers' ears, noses, skin and palates are engaged in an immersive journey of love, prejudice and fears that were left behind.
RUNTIME: 90 minutes, no intermission
Content Warning: There is smoke, sounds of gunfire, sounds of people being waterboarded, sounds violence. The entire play is performed in complete darkness.
Originally created in association with The Radio Drama Network, and with support from the Princess Grace Foundation.

PITCHBLACK Immersive Experiences
PITCHBLACK Immersive Experiences is a company dedicated to creating immersive sensorial experiences in complete darkness. Your PITCHBLACK experience may be with others in a crowded room with performers around you, or it may be alone in the comfort of your home. Every PITCHBLACK production is a new world, a new adventure to be enjoyed beyond the limits of sight. Our completely immersive experiences will awaken your imagination and challenge your reality through your other senses, activating every inch of your body. PITCHBLACK Immersive Experiences is a U.S. endeavor born in 2022 of a partnership between theatreC of NYC and Teatro Ciego of Argentina, a company with a 15-year history of creating live experiences in complete darkness. Darkness allows us to perceive the world in a new way, and we extend that perception into how we create. Consequently, we employ artists and technicians with visual disabilities in all our work. Part of our staff and creative team is made up of blind and low-vision individuals. Our vision is to be recognized as an example of artistic innovation and social inclusion, developing new forms of art that promote awareness. Our mission is to achieve a sustained development of the PITCHBLACK theater technique, training new actors of all abilities, working in a socially responsible manner. ODD MAN OUT is the debut production of PITCHBLACK and has been presented in various versions, including an at-home Box Experience; a Semi-Live (no actors) version at the Flea Theatre in 2021-2022 (Featured in the NY Times and PBS's Immersive.World); a live production at Bristol Riverside Theatre in 2022; a short run at Here Arts Center in New York during the Under the Radar Festival 2024, and Off-Broadway in summer 2024. We have also created an Educational Program for schools, and a new Christmas Musical premiering in 2025.
