Synopsis: | Who killed Miranda Wright? Watch this reality TV taping of "The Whole Truth," in which the Jury (the audience) must choose one of three suspects her mother, her father, her lover to convict as Miranda's murderer. Miranda is a chamber opera featuring a lush score combining Baroque opera, Tango, Hindustani classical music and Hip-Hop. Six instrumentalists recreate the last day of Miranda's life as they sing, act and play all parts. Guided by robotic host D.A.V.E. (the Differential Autonomous Verification Engine) and the Bailiff who rouses the Jury to respond vociferously at key moments, the Jury must sift through a sea of lies to uncover the truth and decide who must be punished.Miranda combines fantastical steampunk costumes and gadgetry with arresting video projections and captivating music. | |||||
