The Storehouse of Truth or Lies?

Liana Patarkatsishvili speaks to Byline Times about how she believes art can help people engage with the damaging reality of today’s digital landscape

The dangers of disinformation need to hit home, believes Liana Patarkatsishvili. That’s why she has developed a new immersive theatre experience, Storehouse, coming to a warehouse in south London this summer.

Created by new arts production company Sage & Jester, the event will invite members of the public into a world in which all of humanity’s stories have been archived since the dawn of the internet in the 1980s. They will see how information is manipulated and be required to use their critical thinking to set it straight – or not.

Voiceover actors Toby Jones, Meera Syal, Kathryn Hunter, and Billy Howle will be joined by a cast of real-life performers at each performance in Deptford.
