It’s all about your truth now
What does your ideal world look like? What would you like to change? Do you feel heard by those in charge? Now is your chance to take their truth and share it with the world!
In De Toneelmakerijs Fake it till you make it, philosophy, art and technology meet in different ways.
In an installation you can create deepfakes of politicians and make them say anything you want to hear from them.
We will give you tips on how to turn a fake message into a viral event. You can try out on the spot how quickly you can spread the fake news you have created.
A live performance will teach the audience how to touch and persuade with the means of art. Visitors will be inspired to develop their own spoken word performance and spread their own personal truths.
We also invite you to join in an inspiring game with philosophical questions around the themes of truth and trust.
