HEREIN LIES THE TRUTH by Aaron Pang at the Elysian Theater
One accident, two stories: one you’ve heard a thousand times, one you’ve never heard before. Herein Lies the Truth is an autobiographical solo show that tells the story of how an accident changed the trajectory of Aaron Pang’s life. When strangers gesture to his cane and ask him “what happened?”, he is unsure of what to say. Faced with a spinal cord injury, this show follows Aaron’s journey to understand this new body in the uncertain world of first loves, online dating, and sex. The show untangles his own understanding of his body and the stories he tells himself. Part stand-up comedy and part storytelling, Herein Lies the Truth is an uncomfortably sexy and hilariously vulnerable stumble through Aaron’s misadventures searching for love, lust, and life after disability.
