The Art of Mendacity
Bear Pit Theatre (UK)
How many lies have you told today? The average person lies twice a day –
but then, they could be… This is an age of mendacity, where politicians
lie, and the media spins half-truths. But Bear Pit Theatre are getting
more personal. Because deceit is at the heart of humanity. These are the
verbatim accounts of lies that have broken hearts and saved lives, told
through physical theatre and puppetry in a glorious carnival of everyday
strangeness.
