The main idea of its founder, Edouard de Broglie, is to make known the experience that blind people live in their daily lives when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/cafe-del-mar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eating and drinking<\/a>. Therefore, there is a willingness to show people without visual disturbances how they live and how they enjoy the small pleasures of life from another perspective, in which the sense of sight is not limiting.\u00a0In this way, we develop an empathy with these people and understand better how they live and how they feel. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-medium\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Live_Through_The_Senses\"><\/span><span lang=\"en\">Live Through The Senses<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_95956\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95956\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-95956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/meditation-1000062__480-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-95956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span lang=\"en\">The first thing that comes to mind in front of such a challenge is the sensory experience that involves discovering flavors and textures only with the sense of taste, smell, and touch. The diners that meet must discover that they are eating and making this dining experience into a game. They smell, savor and play with food, challenge themselves to find out what each flavor is, taste their partner&#8217;s dishes, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/african-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enjoy flavors as they have never done before<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en\"><strong>Dans le Noir<\/strong> also lets people expand on their senses; blind people find their taste and touch sense expand more than others, and for us, it gives us the opportunity to push our own other senses without looking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><em>Related Article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/food-photography-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food Photography in Barcelona<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-medium\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Socialize_Without_Seeing\"><\/span><span lang=\"en\">Socialize Without Seeing<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_95958\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95958\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-95958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/alone-971122__480-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-95958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span lang=\"en\">There are other factors that makes this experience unique. We talk more with our friends, the staff, and other diners that force a radical alteration in mind where we have to use our other senses to communicate. We need to touch others and guide them to find the bathroom, taste more of their plate and know if they are present or not. Space is smaller and we feel more fragile, but we drop any prejudices and social barriers. In short, communication becomes closer, sensitive and profound. We humanize ourselves when we stop seeing each other because at that moment we are all the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><em><span lang=\"en\">Have you visited Dans le Noir?
