The
Search
for
Truth
The search for truth
is one of the abiding quests
for humankind. Every day, in one form or another,
mundane or momentous, the mind seeks to get
beneath the surface to understand events and
actions. With experience, we learn that life is
full of nuance and circumstance, and it is the
perspectives we bring that provide us with truths
– our own truths. After all, every story is told
through the eyes of the storyteller.
Rashōmon
, the famous play set in Japan,
which was made into the classic 1950 film directed
by
Akira Kurosawa
, was recently put on by
UWI’s
Department of Creative and Festival Arts
, and
directed by
Dr. Danielle Lyndersay
. The play
recounts the tale of a samurai’s death, through
contradictory accounts that serve the interests
of the tellers, and illustrates the elusive nature of
truth.
The DCFA’s production has been hailed as a
success for the acting, set design and directing. It
was indeed a creative enterprise from all accounts,
using the open air space to maximum effect and
even bringing in a horse to join the cast.
We carry some images from it, taken by

Dead men do tell tales! Rayshawn Pierre plays
the medium who tells the deceased samurai’s
version of events that fateful day in the forest.
