Esther Perel - Strangers, Friends, and Lovers: A Night Out with Esther

The internationally acclaimed psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel comes to Filadelfia in Stockholm on 12 February 2027 with "Strangers, Friends, and Lovers: A Night Out with Esther Perel".

During an immersive evening about love, friendship and human connection, she explores how we can find our way back to one another at a time when we have never had more ways to stay in touch — yet still risk becoming increasingly isolated.

In today’s relationships, we have more opportunities than ever to communicate.

At the same time, some of life’s most important goals — loving, forming friendships, and building family and community — can feel harder to achieve.

Are we heading towards ever greater isolation, and can we find our way back to one another?

In "Strangers, Friends, and Lovers", Esther Perel brings to life the rituals and encounters that bring people together.

The show explores what can happen when a room full of strangers becomes the starting point for closeness, curiosity and community.

Esther Perel is regarded as one of the most insightful and innovative voices of our time on modern relationships.

She works as a psychotherapist in New York, speaks nine languages and also advises organisations including Hinge and Culture Amp on human connection and relationships.

Her acclaimed TED Talks have been viewed more than 50 million times, and her books "Mating in Captivity" and "The State of Affairs" have been translated into more than 30 languages.

Perel also hosts the award-winning podcast "Where Should We Begin?", created the conversation games "Where Should We Begin?

A Game of Stories" and "Where Should We Begin?

At Work", and writes the newsletter "Entre Nous with Esther Perel".
