"Revolving Truth" is dedicated to the seemingly old fashioned term of Truth and is referring also to one part of the classic trinity of "The Good, The True and The Beautiful". "Revolving Truth" develops as performative short actions by lecturing, reading, screening and artistic interventions, which intend to express the understanding and meaning of Truth from a creative and artistic perspective. Organized in an orchestrated dramaturgy and taking place in the Main Hall of the National Museum in Warsaw, "Revolving Truth" wants to involve the audience in a process of motivation, as an impetus to think for themselves what such a classical category and value symbolizes and signifies for our shared intellectual, emotional and political reality.
