The Whole Truth about Lies @ Shanghai Concert Hall

图片


The whole truth about lies? Is that even conceivable – and desirable?

In our latest project, Berlin music theater company Nico and the Navigators focus on the most powerful weapon of populist politicians: the lie.

The presidential election in the USA, in which a shameless liar triumphed, has recently shown how effectively this age-old means of gaining power can be used.

But the rise of right-wing nationalist forces in other parts of the world also often goes hand in hand with the targeted use of untruths, disinformation, and fake news.

With 'The Whole Truth about Lies,' they are transforming the stage into a lie detector. The production deals – sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes stately – with the truth as an abstract quantity that can have an existential effect in both the private and political spheres and bring about unexpected catastrophes.

The result is a show about self-deception, heteronomy, white lies, and fallacies

Cinderella: Once upon a Time... @ The Pearl

图片


Step into a world where fairy tales meet the digital age. In a kingdom obsessed with fame, filters, and going viral, Cinderella is a bookish dreamer stuck in the shadows. 


But when a delightfully chaotic Fairy Godmother shows up, Cindy gets a chance to swap her books for a ball gown and show the selfie-obsessed Prince Charming and her influencer-wannabe Stepsisters that there's more to life than hashtags and highlight reels.


This is not your grandmother's fairy tale. Get ready for a whirlwind of pop anthems, Broadway showstoppers, and over-the-top costumes that will leave you dazzled.


With a cast of wild characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and a heartwarming message that real magic comes from staying true to yourself, Cinderella: Once upon a Time... is a reminder that fairy tales are always better with a little chaos—and a lot of sparkle.

Fri, Sat & Sun Apr 25, 26 & 27, Doors 6pm, Show 7pm; RMB200
