Review: Naked Truth

As humans, we crave intimacy, but with intimacy comes an uncomfortable vulnerability. Searching for a reliable confidant can be a lifelong process: often we find that an unknown person can be the best one to divulge to, knowing you may never see them again.

Such is the premise of Naked Truth, an experience rather than a show. Vendetta Vain can be naked for the entirety of the piece (at the participant’s discretion, along with one’s own nudity).

As both sit unclothed the experience truly begins with one minute of unbroken eye contact; a hugely personal and internal moment.

Thoughts of what it means to be intimate and where that intimacy comes from in life dominate the sixty seconds, over in this extended blink of an eye.

The conversation details past loves, one night stands and Fringe flings. How does a single person fulfill their need for intimacy? Why can it be so hard to discuss with a person close to us?

As the conversation is driven by the audience member, this show will never be the same twice. It will, however, give that audience member a distinct space to explore their understanding of their relationship with others and how they perceive their own need for intimacy.
