Café Philosophique is coming back to Werribee in May and this time will be challenging our preconceived notions of sight and perception.
Produced by The Little Theatre Company (LTC) and tracing its inspiration from a Parisienne intellectual tradition, Café Philosophique is about exploring the hidden forces shaping our lives.
LTC producer Jess Fairfax said the event provides a space for people in the outer west to come together with others they may not usually encounter to have conversations that push us to see things in a new way.
“I think it’s important to have opportunities to question elements of our lives that have a great impact on us, but we often take for granted,” she said.
“Our event is also about bringing the arts into our everyday lives, through creating a space where we can be reflective and creative, without judgement.”
A performance from magician and illusionist Dazzling Dan and poetry from Tariro Mavondo will help set the atmosphere for prompted creative and reflective writing.
So far exploring sound, transcendence and purpose, Ms Fairfax said the monthly fixture has made a great return.
“We’ve had sound baths and silent sound walks, wrote a lot of poetry and stories, been privy to beautiful musical performances, had many aha-moments and wonderful conversations.”
“It’s a space for creativity and connection, something our busy lives often don’t afford us the time for.”
To bridge the gap between the known and unknown, make your way to The Bridge Hotel in Werribee on Wednesday, May 14 at 6.30pm.
