La Haine et la Vengeance – Philosophical Encounter
The Théâtre Princesse Grace continues its 2026–2027 philosophy series with La Haine et la Vengeance, an evening devoted to two powerful and closely related human impulses: hatred and revenge. Rather than treating them simply as emotions, the encounter invites the audience to consider how they develop, how they influence personal and collective behaviour, and why the desire to retaliate has occupied such an important place in philosophy, literature, history and political thought.
The discussion provides an opportunity to examine the tension between justice and vengeance, the mechanisms through which resentment can become action, and the possibility of breaking cycles of hostility. Presented within the Théâtre Princesse Grace’s dedicated “Philo” programme, the event is intended for a general audience and offers an accessible way to engage with philosophical questions in a live cultural setting in Monaco.
The event takes place on Thursday 21 January 2027 at 19:00 at the Théâtre Princesse Grace. As no official finishing time is published in the programme, only the confirmed start time is shown. Visitors should consult the theatre’s official programme for booking information and any final practical updates before attending.
