TRUTH OR DARE? is a name of a children game. More than the game TRUTH OR DARE? is elaborate social ritual created to induce confession. Charging across the well defined boundaries of behavior, the possibilities of the game seem almost unlimited and create a basis for verbal and physical improvisations.
TRUTH OR DARE? fuses confessional and physical performance. The game itself is deconstructed and rarely thematized. Rules are brought up so that they may be broken.
TRUTH OR DARE? is realized with 4 female performers assisted by an international group of artists who operate in different areas. The performance does not focus specific 'gender' questions but it deals with their desires, hopes, worries, personal truths and visions, and above all poetry of little tales - that exposes previously hidden corners of our experiences.
TRUTH OR DARE? is about the power of imagination, the desire for fantasy and finally it will work through the decisions taken by the spectator.
