Justiça Cega reflects on the complexity of justice from a female and feminist perspective. By questioning silence as a possible defense strategy and silencing as an imposition on those who want to defend themselves, it questions the staging of hearings where those who defend themselves often have to give up their own voice or, even when they speak, are not effectively heard.

Based on the tragedy of Medea, the myth of La Llorona, and fiction that invokes the figure of a filicide, the show proposes an exercise in discussion and imagination about other ways of looking at justice.

Justiça Cega questions the naturalisation of a trial by giving a voice to these three defendants. Not to exonerate them, but to reflect on a judicial mindset where the complexity of women’s narratives is not erased, but rather transformed into a starting point for justice to be done.
