Edinburgh Festival to focus on relative truths

Edinburgh Festival to focus on relative truths

Nicola Benedetti has chosen ‘The Truth We Seek’ as her theme for next summer’s festival.

The programme includes Mary, Queen of Scots from Scottish Ballet, an Australian Orpheus and Eurydice and a visit by Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra 2.

Benedetti says: ‘To be alive is to know the elusive nature of truth. Within our homes or workplaces, amongst loved ones or colleagues, we all experience trying to piece together indignantly expressed, absolutely believed, yet utterly contradictory truths. How often are we able to rise above our own bubble?’

So what’s your truth today? And who’s president of the USA?

If the art is half as bold as the theme, Edinburgh is in for an arresting summer.
