Luanda Casella / NTGent
Short of Lying
- Performance
English /
approx. 70 mins.
“Short of Lying” is a narrative performance about deceit. In the conflicting world of online publishing, where narratives are misused to serve neoliberal logics, Luanda Casella exposes the power associated with it. “Short of Lying” reveals how they can interpret and manipulate reality and shows how narrative thinking has been appropriated by the communication media. In the form of a TED talk, Luanda Casella focuses attention on the art of oratory and exposes the different mechanisms of deception, playfully entangling the audience in a web of deception and dangerous half-knowledge.
After “Ferox Tempus - Terror at its best” (2022) and “KillJoy Quiz” (2023), theatre maker Luanda Casella, who is based at NTGent, is now making her third guest appearance at HAU.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
