Five Truths

V&A Museum, London

2011

An exploration of truth in performance

The Department of Theatre and Performance at the Victoria and Albert Museum invited Katie Mitchell and 59’s Leo Warner to conceive and produce a video installation exploring the nature of ‘truth in performance’. Taking as it’s inspiration 5 of the great theatre directors of the last century, the project explores how different schools of directing and acting represent “truth” through performance. The final exhibition – a multiscreen video installation in a self-contained, tourable space, launched at the Theatre de la Ville in Paris on the 4th June, and premiered at the V&A museum on the 12th July 2011.
