The Encounter

Introduction

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?

This summer, for one evening, Vincent Dedienne and Camille Chamoux, two essential figures of stage and cinema, will pause at Fort Antoine. There they will share with sincerity their doubts, their vulnerabilities, and their deep attachment to others, through confidences that are both intimate and generous. A musical reading that proves to be a true gem, blending refinement, humour and genuine artistic complicity.Camille Chamoux and Vincent Dedienne met on the set of The Flame by Jonathan Cohen and have not parted since. While they are each filming their respective solo shows, they realise they will both be touring in western France and will have 8 dates in 7 days.They then decide to begin a daily correspondence about this intense experience as solo performers, in which their melancholy, also a source of their humour, is shared and offers a true photograph of today's decentralised theatre landscape.To accompany this exchange, Vincent Dedienne invited a friend, singer and actress, Léopoldine HH, to join them to sing songs by Anne Sylvestre and provide musical accompaniment to the reading.Production and distribution: Théâtre de Lorient – National Drama Centre Original concept: Vincent Dedienne Musical adaptation: Léopoldine HH, after texts by Anne Sylvestre Text, direction and performance: Vincent Dedienne, Camille Chamoux and Léopoldine HH
