WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With The Truth: A Tragedy, writer, composer, performer Cynthia Hopkins transforms Soho Rep into a cabinet of curiosities as she weaves real and fictional narrative into a living museum of oddities and artifacts from one man's life nearing its end. Using song, dance, and text Hopkins leads us into an engrossing multi-faceted world--a tragedy that is funny and an epic in minature--that asks questions about modern tragedy. The production will encompass Soho Rep. performance and public space unlike any past production in the theatre's history. The Truth: A Tragedy is a co-commission with Soho Rep. and Les Subsistances Lyons, France.

The Obie Award-winning performer, composer, and writer Cynthia Hopkins comes to Soho Rep with The Truth: A Tragedy, an engaging, bizarre, and occasionally unsparing work about the recent death of her father, John. Simpler in size and scale than her previous show Accidental Trilogy, which ran at St. Ann's Warehouse over several seasons, this new work is a collage of memories of her father that plays like a post-modern, solo chamber piece.
Hopkins wears those memories, almost literally, on her sleeve, before casting some of them off, peeling away the layers in a quest to understand the enigmatic man who gave her life. In her skirt of neckties and her whiteface makeup, she almost seems to wan[...]
