CARCASSONNE
A major figure on the French artistic scene, Thierry Lhermitte will take the stage at the Château Comtal, bringing his elegant acting style and perfect sense of rhythm to La Rencontre — a work that promises an intelligent, sensitive, and deeply human theatrical experience.
We meet countless people, but do we truly encounter them? What is a real encounter? Where does its power come from — the power to change our lives, to reveal us to ourselves? How can we make ourselves available for such an adventure in a world of algorithms and echo chambers? In this one-man show written by Charles Pépin, adapted from his best-seller La rencontre, a philosopher — Thierry Lhermitte — looks back on the encounters that shaped his life, from his friends from Le Splendid to her… to his horse! — and asks us a dizzying question: by not taking the risk of a true encounter, could it be that we end up missing ourselves?
