Commentaires longs: An Experience Like No Other
The Encounter stars only one man, creator and director Simon McBurney, alone on a darkly lit stage, yet it is one of the most startling and original theater experiences of recent years. Debuting to rapturous reviews at last year's Edinburgh Festival, The Encounter takes you on an extraordinary trip into the wilds of the Amazon, sucking you into the action through masterful storytelling and incredible sound design.

See With your Ears
The key to the magic of The Encounter is its employment of binaural sound technology. Each audience member is given a special set of headphones, through which you hear a complex collage of pre-recorded sounds, and live sounds created up on stage by Simon McBurney. Everything from the rush of a river to dry twigs snapping underfoot is conjured up in your ears, placing you right at McBurney's side as he ventures further into the jungle.
Presse : "Surely, no production on Broadway has ever thrown the doors of perception open as widely as 'The Encounter,' Simon McBurney’s astonishing one-man show." Ben Brantley for New York Times

"It’s unlike anything else on Broadway, and it is a head trip. But sometimes 'The Encounter' goes in one ear and out the other." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"In brief: 'Dances With Wolves' with drug trips and no intermission." Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post

"In this primal, lysergic movie for the brain, McBurney covers a dazzling array of topics: the nature of time, technology’s deadening of mental powers, and the spiritual cost of civilized life. Part mystic thriller, part tricksy aural illusion, The Encounter offers a meeting of ear, mind and soul you will never forget." David Cote for Time Out New York

"The Encounter is an extraordinarily visceral, often hypnotic piece of storytelling." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter

"Simon McBurney’s solo show for his company Complicite is quite extraordinary: a profound meditation on our relationship to time and a captivating piece of high-definition storytelling." Matt Trueman for Variety
