The Thin Lie explores the fragile boundary between truth and illusion, asking how much of what we experience is shaped by perception. The piece examines how identity, connection, and reality can disintegrate under the weight of unspoken truths and hidden layers. Through fragmented movement and sound, the dancers bring forth a journey of deconstruction, where the line between what is real and what is fabricated becomes increasingly unclear. The work delves into the ways in which personal narratives are often built on thin lies—those small deceptions that both protect and limit us. In confronting these lies, The Thin Lie reveals the vulnerability beneath the surface, where the only certainty is change
