In rooms like this room people lie. Not
little lies, the kinds of lies that kill people, or
worse…
Dead Cats blends new writing, performance,
film-making, and an obvious plant, to show – not tell –
the truths behind the fictions. Dead Cats
is part of Proto-type’s
critically acclaimed Truth to Power Project – a
socially engaged exploration of power, democracy, truth-telling,
protest, privacy, conspiracy, and control.
