The Encounter
We meet plenty of people, but do we really encounter them?
What is a true encounter? Where does it draw its power to change our lives, to reveal us to ourselves? How can we remain open to this adventure in a world of algorithms and echo chambers?
In a solo performance written by Charles Pépin, and adapted from his bestseller The Encounter, a Philosophy, Thierry Lhermitte reflects on the encounters that have marked his life – from his Splendid mates to that of...his horse! – and poses us a vertiginous question: in shying away from the risk of encounter, might we be missing out on ourselves?
