Experiencing Interruptions?

Unlikely Pairings, Back to Back

Two people who have never had a conversation arrive for a blind date. They answer questions about humanity, the planet, politics and the future. Only at the end do they discover who is on the other side. Do we try to get closer to each other, or do we emphasise our differences?

"Unlikely Pairings, Back to Back" results from more than 100 interviews carried out in twelve Portuguese cities and two French cities, where the meeting point is the theater, as a symbolic place for discussion and thought.
