Doubt
Writer, & Performer
June 2024- ResidenzTheatre - Munich, Germany
This lecture performance was presented at the Welt Bühne festival at Residenztheater in June 2024. In this festival, various writers performed texts about the concept of truth in contemporary times. The performance “Doubt” was prepared within this same concept. The key sentence of this performance was that doubting everything that is imposed on us gives the concept of truth a chance to reveal itself. This lecture performance was performed by Pooyan Bagherzadeh, and it referenced scripts from “Siberia” by Chris Marker.
Author’s Note:
Finding truth is also a challenge for me. Today, we are faced with various narratives about every event in the world, each claiming to be the truth. Perhaps truth is an abstract concept, but what is certain is that narratives are not necessarily truths, because our narrative is shaped by our biases, something institutionally instilled in us that influences which narrative we accept! In my opinion, truth may be elusive, but “doubt” about narratives gives the “truth” an opportunity to reveal itself. Perhaps this “doubt” and refusal to “accept easily” are necessary steps for the post-truth world.
