Wie das flunkert
PIYAWAT LOUILARP­PRASERT

Music theatre about trickery and sonic detours

Half a lie is almost true. Yes, no, not quite — well, almost. That’s almost the whole truth. The whole almost-truth. The twisted truth.
Sometimes it’s just easier to tell the truth by taking a few detours. 

Half a lie is almost true. Yes, no, not quite — well, almost. That’s almost the whole truth. The whole almost-truth. The twisted truth.
Sometimes it’s just easier to tell the truth by taking a few detours. Based on Emily Dickinson’s poem “Tell all the truth but tell it slant,” Daniella Strasfogel and Piyawat Louilarpprasert develop a music theatre piece that explores how difficult — and at the same time necessary — it is to tell the truth. Together with the audience, they improvise and experiment — and in the end, entirely new, fantastic sound-truths emerge.
