‘In a world where truth has become warped and distorted, a tool to manipulate, control and coerce, we are all victims. All art is a lie, and every lie contains a truth.’
The Department of Truth present ‘The Dream of Henry Blight’, a unique multimedia song-story set in the Cornish town of Falmouth, told in sound and vision.
Henry Blight is a lonely man, a man who dwells on the fringes of our world, a living ghost. He spends his nights walking in solitude through the dark streets of Falmouth. But Henry Blight has a dream. And this is his story.
