Abstract: We aim at giving a pedagogical introduction to the non-abelian Hodge correspondence, a bridge between algebra, geometric structures and complex geometry. The correspondence links representations of a fundamental group, the character variety, to the theory of holomorphic bundles. We focus on motivations, key ideas, links between the concepts and applications. Among others we discuss the Riemann--Hilbert correspondence, Goldman's symplectic structure via the Atiyah--Bott reduction, the Narasimhan--Seshadri theorem, Higgs bundles, harmonic bundles and hyperk"ahler manifolds.
