The story of mankind suggests that truth has more sides than is commonly perceived. Tesseract: The Geometry of TruthUnfolding through metaphor and animation, movement and music, color and meditation shows that our future survival depends on pure intelligence tempered by empathy.We live in the information age. It comes at us from all sides, overwhelming and overwhelming, an accumulation and result of the sum total of human experience and effort. It’s exhilarating and annoying, often both at the same time. Yet the human mind has always been in search of truth, searching for it in countless ways since the beginning of history and expressing it in equally diverse ways. But we are limited by our own powers of perception.
The artifacts of successive ages—the archives of human ambition and enterprise—are all around us as old, silent witnesses. Who or what can analyze and interpret their geometry? The human mind can, but to do so, it must be aware of and open to the fourth dimension parallel to our 3D world, always offering perspective and choice. Its possibilities are embodied in the Tesseract, a theoretical 4D hypercube that exists only in abstraction.Also read: Interstellar, Einstein and the strange elasticity of timeAs a chronicler, Times of India The past 187 years have created an unparalleled archive of human stories. Its news headlines, articles and photographs have witnessed and documented countless discoveries. Now Times of India has taken the human story to the next plane with the idea of Tesseract: The Geometry of Truth to reveal the possibilities of alternative options through story, song and dance at NCPA, Mumbai.
As Voices of the Archive reveals, throughout the ages, truth has been sought in many ways, by many people, in many ‘rooms’, from artists and philosophers to warriors and feminists, from empire builders to iconoclasts. History itself is animated to reveal what many have forgotten
It is not easy to open the mind, and the fourth dimension is not a simple construct. But the epiphany lies in traveling with Sophia and her alter ego through an era of human history where the advancement of art, literature and science was matched by the exploitation of our planet and humans, where revolution and evolution were not on the same track but an inexorable march. And somewhere along the way, mercy fell by the wayside.
In each ‘room’ of human history, Sophia encounters different versions of herself and changes her perception of truth. Eventually he awakens to an all-seeing and omniscient presence around him, guiding him to the fourth dimension
When colors and rhythms pulsate on stage, expressing human thoughts and emotions in various forms with glorious Broadway panache, true genius emerges. Truth eventually reveals itself as a Tesseract – real but metaphysical, radiating a mystical power that can be called empathy. It awaits us in the fourth dimension, at the edge of human perception it becomes blindly appropriate. Sophia finds her truth; We also need to find ourselves.“Tesseract: The Geometry of Truth” is produced by The Times of India, with concept and visuals by Meera Jain.
