Alf Kebbell is blind. He uses a cane, though in Elephant & Castle he does not need one to find his way around. He has been taking the same routes for 24 years, relying on specific landmarks.

This is an emotional journey experienced in a repetitive way by the real performer. I recreated the space Alf navigates through every day, portraying his landmarks at the moment of his passing by. Without them, Alf would be completely lost.
