Post Truth Allegory

Post Truth Allegory is a lethally romantic fable, it explores the intimate tensions between what is real and imagined and how structural rules bend when the idea of truth is questioned itself. Both political and personal, Post Truth Allegory uses the form of the fable/allegory to reimagine moral questions through a relativist lens. Investigating the themes of borrowed truth, assumed truth and perceived truth, this work builds a performance language of movement, sound, text and character that is bloated with maximalist aesthetics but grounded in the human narrative. Through a multi-generational cast of exceptional dance and theatre performers Post Truth Allegory probes at the moral confusion of being alive in the 2020’s.
