The Whole Truth about Lies @ Shanghai Concert Hall

The whole truth about lies? Is that even conceivable – and desirable?
In our latest project, Berlin music theater company Nico and the Navigators focus on the most powerful weapon of populist politicians: the lie.
The presidential election in the USA, in which a shameless liar triumphed, has recently shown how effectively this age-old means of gaining power can be used.
But the rise of right-wing nationalist forces in other parts of the world also often goes hand in hand with the targeted use of untruths, disinformation, and fake news.
With ‘The Whole Truth about Lies,’ they are transforming the stage into a lie detector. The production deals – sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes stately – with the truth as an abstract quantity that can have an existential effect in both the private and political spheres and bring about unexpected catastrophes.
The result is a show about self-deception, heteronomy, white lies, and fallacies
