The King Is Blind

The King Is Blind is the first introductory book on the technique of Tarot Theatre. It maps its theoretical and artistic roots: from the archetypal analysis of Carl Jung to the Psychomagic of Alejandro Jodorowsky.

The book develops dramaturgical readings of Endgame by Samuel Beckett in connection with the Tarot of Marseilles, as well as Oedipus Rex by Sophocles through the Tarot of Salvador Dalí.

The Tarot cards do not function as simple illustrations. Instead, they shape a complete dramaturgical system. Tarot is transformed into a contemporary artistic language — a new alphabet for today’s creator.
