The Whole Truth About Lies
Music theatre by NICO AND THE NAVIGATORS
What is the whole truth about lies? Where can it be found and what is revealed when it is exposed? In this era of artificial intelligence and social networks, whoever searches for the truth about lies will often find it residing in the paradoxical – or in the theatre.
In their Berlin premiere, NICO AND THE NAVIGATORS explore this abstract entity, which unfurls very concrete, often catastrophic power in both the personal and the political. Truth appears as a healing and harmful tool in human interaction, as a revealing or seductive force. The lie, on the other hand, acts as its antidote. Is it possible that we need lies because we are unable live with pure truth? Are little white lies mere venial sins or do they spark an avalanche that buries us?
Between baroque and pop, and song, dance and text, the NAVIGATORS search for the ‘Whole Truth about Lies’. They combine the old 19th-century theatrical illusion ‘Pepper's Ghost’ with current AI technology, blurring the boundaries between real bodies and fake images. The horizontal tilts into the vertical and avatars dance with their humans. Perhaps the truth about lies is situated somewhere in the middle – between ‘Gimme some Truth’ and ‘Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies’.
