TWO TRUTHS: NOTES ON THE CINEMATOGRAPHER is an avant-garde mixed media mashup of Robert Bresson’s celebrated book on film making. Audiences will choose between pairings of notes that probe the dividing line between film and theatre. For each note selected by the audience, a film or live scene created in response to that note will be shown. Every show will be different and every audience will have the opportunity to create a unique performance experience.
