Complicite / Simon McBurney
THE ENCOUNTER
In 1969, Loren McIntyre, a National Geographic photographer, found himself lost among the people of the remote Javari Valley in Brazil. It was an encounter that was to change his life: bringing the limits of human consciousness into startling focus. In this solo performance Simon McBurney traces McIntyre’s journey into the depths of the Amazon rainforest, using binaural technology (3D audio) to build an intimate and shifting world of sound.
“This production from the genre-bending Complicite company is one of the most fully immersive theater pieces ever created.” The New York Times
