“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.
