Carriageworks will host to an exciting new social experiment this summer. They're getting people up on stage to take a lie detector test — and we all get to watch. Truthmachine, run by performance artists Counterpilot, is a subversive, intimate and frolicsome new theatre show that uses biometric sensors and live voting systems to hunt out truths in a world of fake news and alternative facts. Even if you're not the one strapped up to the biometric sensors you're sure to feel the tension in the room. Naturally, it's recommended for audience over 18. Expect the unexpected.
