Ministry of Truth

How far are you willing to go to find the truth?

In a world afflicted by collective amnesia where events are continually erased and rewritten, a group of young people find themselves trapped in limbo between past and present. This is the beginning of a frenetic race against time for our heroes, trying to discover the truth before everyone's memories are erased again.

Director and Choreographer Rachel Birch-Lawson creates a vivid and thought-provoking show, in which real-world questions about freedom, truth and technology are freely explored.

Rachel has been collaborating with BYMT since 2014 and has created a number of innovative and breath-taking dance shows with emerging talent. BYMT's The Dark Tower in 2016 was praised by reviewers: ""This is probably the biggest musical theatre event of the year ... a magnificent new work that is unlike anything most of us have ever seen ... All this barely suggests the astonishing sensual assault of the lush music, and the elegant, precise and so warmly human movements used to give it shape and direction… It is the elaborated expression of a serious, almost lofty, topic, but this is modulated by the frank youthfulness of the people presenting it." – Britishtheatre.com.

Part of BYMT's boundary-pushing Dance Connection series, this new contemporary dance show features a genre-bending original new score and powerful movement.
