#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Drawing on personal experience and wider research, Kate Legge poses a provocative question: is it possible for us to truly know the people we love? Considering infidelity through the paradigms of learned behaviour and innate disposition, Legge humanely extrapolates the nature of love and betrayal and how we recover from our deepest injuries.
