Playbill
Maria da Luz, an outstanding scientific researcher in the area of human vision, is gradually losing her sight, in a tragic irony of destiny. The play presents her attempts to deal with the problem, portrays an exciting love affair and a vindictive scientific betrayal, and sketches the fierceness of life in a scientific lab, inhabited by groups of researchers immersed in demanding and competitive professional paths. All this in a world controlled by the shadow of a mysterious character called Dr. Light.
