ABOUT THIS SESSION

This panel revolves around the idea of stringing together fictional narratives to tell an ultimate truth. Audience members play a game with the panelists wherein they tell a story that’s either true or false, and participants must take their guess on which is the correct answer. The panel aims to emphasize that fiction as a genre is superior to reality.
