A talk inspired "The Encounter" on Complicité's YouTube channel
Could how we listen change the way we live? Simon McBurney be joined by legendary pioneers Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno and Nitin Sawhney to explore the act of listening for Complicité' s last talk, "Ways of Listening", inspired by the themes of "The Encounter", a milestone performance co-produced by Onassis Stegi.
Days after the virtual premiere of "The Encounter" on the Onassis Foundation's YouTube Channel, Complicité is hosting a talk between pioneers.
We hear all the time. Our ears, even in our sleep, unlike our eyes, are never closed. But listening is an act of conscious concentration, which, in the words of John Berger ‘…salvages meaning…’ from the words and world around us. So how can we listen amidst the roar of these unceasingly cacophonous times, and could listening, ultimately change the way we live?
The talk will be live streamed to the Complicité YouTube channel on Wednesday, July 29th at 10:30pm EEST. There will be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions via the YouTube comments.
It is free to view and will be live captioned.
