Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Following the success of The Encounter in 2015, actor and director Simon McBurney, founder of the renowned maverick theatre company Complicité, is finally returning to Vidy. Even though John Berger has passed away, Simon McBurney still has questions for him. They knew each other well: they spent time in each other’s company and exchanged ideas for over 25 years. In the face of war, exploitation, the search for solidarity, and knowledge that struggles to metabolise into action, what has become of the bonds that unite us? Why do we destroy what we love? And what can art do today?
Simon McBurney is an enthusiastic and alert storyteller – no one else knows better than he how to blend narratives and technology, images and movement into embodied, living words. Alone on stage, the British actor questions his former kindred spirit, John Berger. And so we are invited to step into a space for questions and poetry, where the present stands still, swarming with questions – and our desire to act is revived with a fruitful power.
